New Forest NPA Local Plan Review 2025 – Call for Sites
4 February to 18 March 2025
As part of the initial work on the review of the Local Plan, we are also inviting local communities, landowners and developers to put forward sites they wish to be considered for residential, employment, Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople and other uses (including environmental mitigation) within the National Park.
Submitted sites will be assessed and the results will form part of the evidence base for the next stage in updating the New Forest National Park Local Plan.
Please use this form below to submit sites for consideration though the Local Plan review process.
- It may help if you plan your answers in a separate document before completing the online form as it can’t be saved before submitting.
- The areas to leave longer comments can be expanded to give you more space to write.
