Test Valley Borough Council Draft Local Plan 2040 Consultation

The consultation is your chance to get involved in shaping the future of the Borough. Details on how to make comments are available here. Test Valley Borough Council are also undertaking a Call for Sites during the same period. Further details are available here.
What is a Local Plan?
The Local Plan guides future development within the Test Valley area. It sets out planning policies to address communities’ needs e.g. housing, and how Test Valley intends to deliver sustainable development. Test Valley use it in assessing planning applications.
The Local Plan covers a range of matters such as the amount and type housing and employment land required to meet community’s needs, policies on town centres, countering climate change and conserving and enhancing local environment and heritage.
The Local Plan is produced by Test Valley Borough Council, as the local planning authority and must follow national guidance. A Local Plan will go through several statutory stages of preparation which includes public consultation before it is examined. If found to be appropriate, it can be adopted. Upon adoption it will replace the current Test Valley Revised Local Plan 2011-2029 which was adopted in January 2016 (the adopted Local Plan is available here).
Why is it important?
Local plans are important as they shape how places will change in the future. The Local Plan can play a key role in helping to deliver local priorities, such as those identified by the Test Valley Borough Council Four Year (Corporate) Plan 2023-2027.
The Local Plan will influence future changes within local communities. These changes can be at a wider scale, such as the location of new residential development across the borough or at a local scale, such as the parking provision on new development. If you and your community are seeking to influence the future of Test Valley, the Local Plan is the place to start.
Where is Test Valley Borough Council in the preparation?
All Local Plans must be in accordance with national policy which the Government produces. This includes requirements for what a Local Plan must do including identifying how many new homes and the area of employment land needed. Test Valley Borough Council already has an Adopted Local Plan, which looks forward to 2029 which provides the starting point for this one.
Test Valley has already undertaken three stages of public consultation Issues and Options consultation (2018), Refined Issues and Options Consultation (2020) and Regulation 18 Stage 1 (2022).
The next stage of preparation is the Regulation 18 Stage 2 document, which is a full draft Local Plan.
Test Valley Borough Council is consulting on the draft Local Plan 2040 Regulation 18 Stage 2 between Tuesday 6 February 2024 and noon on Tuesday 2 April 2024.
