In answer to a Member’s question the Board was advised at this Regulation 18 stage the report was not a Part I report, to be considered by Full Council as this was for consultation and liable to still be changed. However at the stage all consultations and amendments had been completed the Plan would be considered by Full Council.

 

A Members questioned that whether, with the proposals for increased housing, would be accompanied by a better provision of infrastructure, like doctors surgeries.

 

The Board was advised that evidence studies had been undertaken on the provision of medical facilities and that an infrastructure assessment had shown that there was not an issue with the provision of facilities, but there were localised issues with management of surgeries and availability of medical practitioners.

 

The Board was also advised any additional construction would need to consult sewer policies to ensure capacity was sufficient and the developer would need to contribute to any upgrades necessary.

 

There were other localised aspects such as Haslar Bridge improvements would need to be considered as development came forward.

 

In answer to a Member’s question, the location of the proposed site in Heritage Way was clarified and that any development would be subject to a planning application.

 

RESOLVED:  That the Board

·         Approves the Gosport Borough Local Plan 2038 for consultation purposes (as set out in Appendix A) together with the Draft Policies Map (Appendix B).

·         Delegates authority to the Manager of Planning Policy to make minor amendments to the Local Plan prior to the consultation period starting.
