HAVANT BOROUGH: LOCATION
AND SETTING |
| 40. |
Havant Borough lies between the sea and
the South Downs in the south east corner of Hampshire on the border
with West Sussex. The Borough comprises two distinct parts: the mainland
and Hayling Island. On the mainland, three towns, Waterlooville, Havant
and Emsworth have distinct identities and are separated by gaps of
open land which run into the coastal plain. Hayling Island is largely
rural in character and surrounding the Island the coastal areas of
Langstone and Chichester Harbours and the Solent are internationally
recognised for their natural beauty and for their value for wildlife
and recreation. |
| 41. |
The development of the Borough has been
heavily influenced by its proximity to the City of Portsmouth and
the other major urban centres in South Hampshire. In the post-war
period the Borough has grown at a rapid pace. Development has generally
been suburban in character with areas such as Leigh Park typifying
this trend. The pace of development has slackened in recent years
and the remaining areas of attractive open countryside perform an
important role in preventing coalescence of main towns which retain
their own distinct character and identity. |
| 42. |
Communication links within the Borough
are excellent by both road and rail. The A3(M), A27(T) and the A3
provide the strategic road network. There are regular high speed train
services to London Waterloo and Portsmouth and east-west connections
on the Southampton-Brighton line. Gatwick Airport lies 40 miles to
the north east of Havant and the continental ferry terminal at Portsmouth
is within easy reach. |
| 43. |
The economy within the Borough has been
traditionally manufacturing based with a strong skill representation
in electrical and mechanical engineering. The decline of the manufacturing
sector has led to a diversification of skills into computers and electronics
although many of the Borough's workforce still lack the necessary
skills for modern industry. This is reflected in a consistently higher
unemployment rate than the Hampshire average. The economy also suffers
from high levels of out-commuting and a shortage of land available
to meet the needs of business. |
| 44. |
There are a number of town, district and
local centres that provide a focus for shopping in the Borough of
Havant. The principal shopping centres are Havant Town Centre and
Waterlooville Town Centre. |
| 45. |
Tourism is important to the Borough and
is centred on Hayling Island. The major attractions of Hayling Island
are its rural character and extensive shoreline with Blue Flag and
seaside award winning beaches located between Chichester and Langstone
Harbours. The historic town of Emsworth also attracts a large number
of visitors with the town centre, harbour, Mill Pond, Emsworth Museum
and the variety of public houses and restaurants all contributing
to the town's appeal. |
| 46. |
The Borough benefits from a good range
of leisure facilities, which are enhanced by its coastal location
and proximity to picturesque countryside. There are two leisure centres
together with a range of clubs such as hockey, rugby and sailing,
which often excel in their sports. The Borough has a history of arts
activity and there are currently two arts centres in Havant and Bedhampton.

POPULATION |
| 47. |
The population of Havant Borough has been
characterised by high rates of growth for much of the post war period.
Fuelled by increases in local job opportunities and house building
rates the population has grown from 32,000 in 1951 to nearly 117,000
today. A decline in the pace of development coupled with a sustained
level of out migration has led to a slight decrease in population
from 1991 and Hampshire County Council's population forecasts indicate
that this trend will continue up to 2011. The predicted changes in
the population of Havant between 1996 and 2011 are outlined in Table
1. |

Table 2 shows the forecast population
change by age groups between 1996 and 2011. It shows a decline in
Havant's population for the age groups between 0 and 44. The most
significant declines occur in the 0-4 and 5-15 age groups. The 0-4
age group declines by 12.4% and the 5-15 by 13.4%. |
| 49. |
The decline in these age groups is in contrast
to the 45 to 85+ age categories which as a whole are projected to
increase. Increases of 16.8% and 37.4% occur in the 75-84 and 85+
age groups indicating longer life expectancy. The 45-64 age group
is predicted to increase by nearly 1,960, a 6.8% increase. |

Table 3 shows the long term population
projections for household type. A decrease between 1996 and 2011 is
predicted in the number of married couple households. This household
type includes married couples with children, and adult offspring still
living at home. The decline is caused by a combination of lower first
marriage and re-marriage rates, continuing high divorce rates, together
with the overall ageing of the population which inevitably results
in a higher proportion of widowed and divorced persons in the population.
|
| 51. |
In contrast the number of one person households
shows a significant increase from 25.4% of the total number of households
in 1996 to 31.6% in 2011. This trend is caused by an increase in the
number of non-married people, an increase in the proportion of people
over retirement age and increases in the proportion of the population
in most age and sex groups who will head one person households. |
| 52. |
The predicted changes in household type
have influenced the future projections for average household size
which is predicted to fall from 2.5 to 2.3 persons per household for
Havant. The decline in household size is reflected in the increase
in the number of households within Havant by 2011 which is predicted
to occur in spite of the overall decline in population. |

GENERAL STATEMENT ABOUT
POLICIES AND PROPOSALS |
| 53. |
This plan should be read as a whole. Each
policy deals with a specific aspect of planning control and all relevant
policies will need to be referred to in relation to a particular development
proposal. The weight to be attributed to individual policies will
depend on the circumstances applying to each development proposal.
It is for those involved in decision making to identify and address
