The council has recently embarked on a review of the Gosport Borough Local Plan 2011–2029.

The key issues that we will be focusing on are:

• maximising opportunities to provide jobs and enhance skills on the peninsula and reduce the current high levels of out-commuting
• maximising the potential for marine and related uses and improving access to the waterfront
• alleviating congestion, improving the borough’s infrastructure and increasing options for travel choice
• regenerating a significant number of brownfield sites and bringing unique heritage assets back into use by addressing the challenges created by poor levels of maintenance, contamination, flooding and nature conservation issues
• creating vibrant places to live
• improving health and wellbeing
• protecting and enhancing the borough’s important habitats and open spaces
