site is highly accessible, financially viable and immediately deliverable.
Should have a requirement for business buses.
New employment should be located close to existing centres and residential areas to reduce distances people have to travel to work.
Principal of providing additional employment floorspace at Daedalus is strongly supported due to the jobs it will create and the investment it will bring to the area. (Gosport Borough Council).

Significant infrastructure and connectivity issues exist with Daedalus and Welborne.

Support for identification of Spurlings Industrial Estate as a designated Employment Area.
The proposed change of Little Park Farm from an employment allocation to an 'employment area' appear inconsistent with the continued allocation of the (greenfield) part in Winchester Local Plan Part 2. (Winchester City Council)
Demand for new industrial/warehouse premises around Fareham and close to A27 from local businesses.
Suggest policy wording is amended to allow for the extension of existing Employment Areas beyond existing boundaries.
Flexibility for a broader range of uses requested for Cams Hall – policy E3 too restrictive and preference is not to be covered by E3.

Criteria g), h) and i) of policy supported as part of the overall strategy for conserving, enjoying and enhancing the historic environment. (Historic England).
Request that an additional criteria item, regarding light pollution, is added to the policy.
Request policy is amended in order to recognise the need for garden centre provision and the likely increased demand there will be for additional garden centre floorspace as a result of new home owners. Furthermore, it should be recognised that garden centres are not suited to town/main centres.
Request for the intensification of garden centre retailing at Abbey Garden Centre through the removal of derelict glasshouses. Site benefits from excellent transport connections, is currently underused and would present opportunities to enhance the setting of its environs.
