Proposal

Pre-Submission Portsmouth Local Plan Addendum 2025 All representations. Between 18 November 2025 to 8 January 2026, Portsmouth City Council consulted on the Pre-Submission (Regulation 19) Portsmouth Local Plan (PLP) Addendum. These are the representations that were received by the Council on all policies in the Pre-Submission PLP Addendum 2025 and/or its supporting evidence base. Each representor has been assigned a unique representor ID number. Where a single representor has sent in representations on multiple policies, this is identified in the filename. Representations on the Addendum include the letter "A" at the end of the file name. To search for a specific named representor, use the "Filter By: description" search option and enter the representor name in the "Description text" box. Please note that all other representations that were made on the PLP as part of the 2024 consultation can be accessed under either "Pre-Submission PLP 2024 Standard Tipner representations" (26/00225/CONS) or "Pre-Submission PLP 2024 Non-standard representations" (26/00224/CONS).
