Follow the link below recent EHDC ‘s correspondence with the Government emphasising concerns about the calculation of the housing requirement for the emerging East Hampshire local plan.
EHDC Comment: – ‘We need your help to meet this threat to rural East Hampshire
A new Government consultation on planning proposes an ‘immense’ increase in the number of homes to be built in East Hampshire.
The proposals include an 86 per cent increase in our housing number – going from 575 homes a year to 1,074.
The Government is contacting councils across the country as it revises its planning guidelines through a consultation entitled “Playing your part in building the homes we need”. ‘
