Hart District Council Election 2018
Thank you to everyone who trusted their vote to us in the local elections of 3rd May.
All four of our candidates got elected which is fantastic, so again thank you.
It is a pleasure to see Gill and Alan reelected and to welcome Ange and Peter to the team.
Ange won in Fleet West by just 5 votes; 1064 vrs 1059. This was very close and so a particularly heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for us in Fleet West.

Your 10 Hart District Councillors, and County Councillor John Bennison. Left to right: Peter, Tony, Sara, James, Ange, Alan, Gill, Chris, Wendy, Simon & John.

Hart Local Plan passes major hurdle

Residents in Hart who have suffered from decades of inappropriate development due to Hart’s lack of an up to date Local Plan are now a major step closer to getting back control of the planning process.

On 4th January 2018 Hart’s councillors voted 27 to 5 to put forward the latest draft local plan into the final stage of consultation before submission to the Government. The plan is future proofed in that it kick starts the search for a new settlement in the Winchfield & Murrel Green area so that the plan is robust against the inevitable increase in government set housing targets in future years.

It has been a source of great frustration to residents for many years that the Local Plan has taken so long to reach this stage, having suffered many false starts and wrong turns along the way. It is testament to the focused determination of the Community Campaign & Lib Dem joint administration (which only took over in May) that we have been able to make this finally happen and within the timescale we promised.

It can be hoped that now Hart have agreed to what is termed a ‘regulation 19 stage consultation’, that the emerging policies in the plan can be seen to carry weight when determining planning applications.
