Introduction What is the Housing and Employment Allocations Plan? 1.1 The East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations is the second part in a suite of development plan documents and follows on from the Joint Core Strategy. 1.2 Its primary purpose is to identify specific sites to meet the individual housing and employment targets set out in policies CP3 and CP10 of the Joint Core Strategy (JCS), and to set out guidance for the development of these sites. 1.3 This Plan uses the same overall housing requirement, methodology (‘Liverpool’) and buffer (5%) as the JCS. These have been found sound both at the Examination of the JCS and at the Examination of the Housing and Employment Allocations Plan. 1.4 The East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations only covers the area of East Hampshire outside the South Downs National Park (SDNP) as shown in Map 1. This is because the Park Authority is the Local Planning Authority for the SDNP and is producing a separate Local Plan for the whole of the SDNP. For all information about planning in the National Park please see the SDNP website http://www.southdowns.gov.uk/planning. 1.5 This means taking a disaggregated approach to the supply of new homes and employment in each Planning Authority Area, including the calculation of the 5 year housing land supply. 1.6 It should be noted that Whitehill & Bordon, and areas covered by emerging Neighbourhood Plans which allocate homes, do not form part of this Plan. Further information is set out in later sections. 1.7 For the remainder of this document the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations will be called the Site Allocations Plan. 1.8 The Site Allocations Plan forms part of the Development Plan, which will comprise the following: Saved Policies of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review (March 2006) East Hampshire District Local Plan: Joint Core Strategy (adopted by East Hampshire District Council (May 2014) and South Downs National Park Authority (June 2014)) East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan (October 2013) Adopted Neighbourhood Plans upon adoption it will form part of the Development Plan which will comprise the following: 3 Proposed Submission East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations 1.9 Housing and employment site allocations are currently the main priority in the planning system and that is why this plan focuses on these issues. In the future another part of the Local Plan that updates the Saved Policies of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review will be created and form part of the Statutory Development Plan. This will consider further revisions to Settlement Policy Boundaries, Gaps between settlements, Special Character Areas and other Development Management Policies. 1.10 Whilst the National Park is a separate authority, East Hampshire District Council has regard to the statutory purposes of the National Park under Section 62 of the Environment Act 1995. 4 Map 1 - Area Covered by Site Allocations Plan (i.e. not including the South Downs National Park).
