📘 Disclaimer: This document is a conceptual proposal prepared for consideration by East Hampshire District Council (EHDC). It does not represent current policy but outlines an optional framework that EHDC could choose to adopt, pilot, or develop further. It has been designed to be implementable in its current form or used as a foundation for future formal guidance or policy inclusion.
This component directs EHDC to begin compiling an internal register of land allocated or suitable for development, alongside ownership or control status (e.g. via options). Though non-statutory in Phase 1, this registry supports enforcement, monitoring, and future public transparency initiatives.
| Component | Internal Land Registry and Monitoring |
| What It Delivers | Enables EHDC to track delivery progress and detect stalling or speculative behaviour. |
| Function | Monitors who controls land, how long it has remained undeveloped, and whether it aligns with Local Plan delivery goals. |
| Legal Basis | Planning monitoring functions; Section 12 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. |
| Completion Criteria | Internal registry created with status updates for each key parcel. |
| How to Implement | Planning Policy Team to coordinate with GIS and Legal for ongoing database maintenance. |
| Timeline | Within 3–6 months |
| Owner | Planning Policy Team / Strategic Housing Team |
