County Planning

The section manages the County Council’s own developments (including schools and libraries) as well as the planning and monitoring of mineral and waste sites and infrastructure across Hampshire.

We don’t deal with planning and development for housing and business, this is covered by the district councils (we have developed this table to assist further) should you require more information please contact your relevant district to find out more

Draft Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan submitted

After publishing the draft Plan for a six week period for representations on its 'soundness', the Plan has been submitted to the Secretary of State alongside the representations received. An independent Planning Inspector will now consider the draft Plan at Public Examination on its 'soundness'.

The current process will include public hearing sessions to be held at Hampshire County Council offices, Elizabeth II Court, Winchester on 6 - 8 and 11 - 15 June 2012, for further details please see our Consultation website. Adverts will appear in local papers at least 6 weeks in advance. Normally, only those who have responded to the Plan when it was published (7 November – 19 December 2011) will be contacted by the Inspector for any further information or with invitations to participate in the hearing sessions of the examination. However, anyone can attend and observe the hearing sessions.
