England has a major housing shortage, and the Government is making changes to the planning system to help fix it.
East Hampshire is especially affected because it’s one of the least affordable areas in the county.
This housing delivery test action plan explains how many homes are being built, what is slowing things down, and what the council will do to improve delivery.
The Government measures housing delivery across the whole district, but East Hampshire District Council only controls planning outside the South Downs National Park. This mismatch is a concern, and the council continues to raise it with the Government.
The 2025 action plan sets out the steps the council will take to increase housing delivery.
