Quality Places Outcomes

We aspire to make South Hampshire an exciting and rewarding place to live and work by ensuring: the availability of the right facilities; that people feel safe; and that they live in a pleasant, well-designed environment that has adequate provision to meet the leisure and recreation needs of residents. This includes communities having a feeling of ‘place’, shaped by the facilities and services on offer, by the local character, culture and heritage, and by the local environment. Building on our subregion’s superb natural and historic assets, and strong heritage and cultural base, our strategy is to plan for the sub-region in a way that recognises the relationships between the urban fabric and the natural environment, and retains a sense of place.
