Planning Portsmouth’s Future

May 28th 2024 saw a full meeting of Portsmouth City Council to consider the pre-submission of Portsmouth's local plan. We take a look at the contributions, and hear where there was disagreement & debate, and where there was consensus. What impact would the plan have on the number of new homes in the city ? On loss of open spaces? On the number of HMOs? On provision of local schools, doctors & dentists? Did Portsmouth's Councillors vote through the submission or did it suffer the same fate as neighbouring Havant's plan which had to be ditched and taken back to the drawing board?
