HART DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN: POSITION STATEMENT

Adopted Local Plan

The current Local Plan was adopted in 1993 but is about to be replaced. Full Council on 31 October is expected to resolve to adopt the new `Hart District Local Plan (Replacement) 1996 to 2006' without further modification.

Review/Replacement Local Plan

There is currently no adopted timetable for reviewing/rolling forward the Local Plan but the Council's Community & Environment Policy Review Panel will address the issue in November.
