Call for sites with development potential

We will shortly be starting work to update the Rushmoor Local Plan. To help us have an up-to-date understanding of available land in Rushmoor which may be suitable for development, we carried out a 'call for sites' exercise and asked you to suggest sites which may have potential for future development.

The formal call for sites consultation has closed, but we would still encourage you to suggest potential development sites to us.

We would particularly welcome information on available sites in Rushmoor which may be suitable for:

• Housing
• Employment
• Retail, leisure and community uses
• Gypsy and traveller and travelling showpeople accommodation
• Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG)
• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) offsetting

Your suggestions will help us update our Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment, which is a technical study that identifies sites with housing and employment potential.

Your suggestions will also help us update our Brownfield land register, which is a list of brownfield sites (previously developed land) in Rushmoor which are considered to be available, achievable and suitable for housing-led development, as defined by government regulations.

How to suggest a site

If you have or know of any available and suitable sites, please submit details using either of the two forms below.

• Web form to suggest a site with development potential
• Word form to suggest a site with development potential

If you have completed the Word form, please email it along with your accompanying documents to planningpolicy@rushmoor.gov.uk. You can also print out and post your Word form and accompanying documents to:

Important information

If you submit a site for suggestion, it is not guaranteed that we will allocate it for the suggested use. We will judge the suitability of all sites against relevant planning policies and other considerations. There is no guarantee that we will enter suggested sites into the Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment or Brownfield Land Register. If a site is included in one of these documents, it does not guarantee that it will be granted planning permission. 

Data protection

The information you submit when you suggest a site, with the exception of personal details, may be made available to the public in our Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment, Brownfield Land Register and other published reports.

You can find out how we use the information that you provide in our Planning Policy privacy notice.

How to withdraw a site

If you would like to withdraw a site from consideration, please email planningpolicy@rushmoor.gov.uk.
