What gets built and where

Welcome to the CPRE Hampshire Planning Hub
Planning is a multi-layered process with many elements. To understand one element, it often helps to have an overall understanding of the bigger picture.
This information hub has been designed to help you at whatever level you’re working at or interested in. You can use it to dip into more detail on a specific part of the process or to aid your understanding as a whole.
CPRE and CPRE Hampshire work at every level of the planning process to ensure the right developments are built in the right places. This hub reflects not just details on the planning process but our views and advice on what we believe is the right approach.
We hope you find it of use.
