Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan: Partial Update Notice of Regulation 19 Public Consultation and Statement of Representations Procedure

Hampshire County Council, New Forest National Park Authority, Portsmouth City Council, South Downs National Park Authority & Southampton City Council are working to produce a partial update to the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan (the ‘Plan’) which will guide minerals and waste decision making in the Plan Area (covering all of their respective areas and those parts of the South Downs which fall within Hampshire) up until 2040.

The Proposed Submission draft of the Plan is being published in accordance with Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 for representations to be made on the ‘soundness’ and legal compliance of the plan (and its accompanying material). The representations will be compiled and submitted to the Secretary of State for independent examination. Representations must refer to the tests of ‘soundness’ and include a name and address. They may include a request to be notified when the Plan is submitted for independent examination, when the examination recommendations are published and/or when the Plan has been adopted.

The representations period on the Proposed Submission plan will run for eight weeks, and all representations must be received between 9am 9th January 2024 and 11:59pm 5th March 2024. Late representations may not be accepted as duly made.

The preferred response method is via the on-line consultation response form which can be found at https://www.hants.gov.uk/minerals-waste-update. Responses will also be accepted via email by sending to hmwp.consult@hants.gov.uk or in writing to Minerals and Waste Policy Team, Hampshire 2050, Elizabeth II Court South, The Castle, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8UH.
