Draft local plan 2017-2036 (regulation 18) Consultation 5 February - 19 March 2019 YOUR LOCAL PLAN 2036 Foreword A FRONT DOOR FOR EVERYONE That is the challenge we face as a society - we need enough homes for everyone - and it is the most pressing and urgent task we have, and at East Hampshire District Council we are determined to play our part in providing those homes. The challenge we have set ourselves is to produce a Local Plan that provides homes and jobs but also protects and enhances the area’s character, natural and built environment, wildlife, and heritage assets for future generations to enjoy. We want to make sure that high quality homes, fit for today’s needs and ready for the future, are built in the best possible locations, in order to create strong communities with all the supporting infrastructure and amenities modern living demands. That is quite a challenge! We all need and want our own space in which to live. A place where we can close the door and enjoy our own private space to raise a family, invite friends, be alone and to feel safe and secure. We recognise that being without your own space has a most corrosive effect on our ability to function in society, to maximise our potential, provide for families and older people and even on our mental health. So, in line with our motto “Improving People’s Lives” and our corporate focus on our residents’ welfare, we believe that our aim of “A Front Door for Everyone” is both a necessary and an achievable objective. This Local Plan not only sets out the number and location of new homes, but it offers high level and detailed guidance on all the important matters including economic development and jobs, the provision of housing for all, and the protection and enhancement of the environment.
