Results per page 25 | 50 | 100Dear Planning Inspectorate, I am writing to object to the proposed expansion of Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. The application reference is CROWN/2026/0000005. I object because the proposal would expand Haslar into a 600-bed detention centre, adding up to 470 additional detention places before the refurbished 130-bed centre has even reopened or been tested in practice. I am especially concerned about flood risk, coastal safety, emergency evacuation and climate change. Haslar is a coastal ... Read more

Everything is redacted. The secrecy of how the immigration centre will affect Gosport and its residence. If its secret, then its a definite no. Build it next to Westminster or No.10 North, see how it impacts you all.

This facility existed for many years and was, I believe, controlled by the military. It was never a worry to us living very close to it. The proposal to extend the facility by such a huge factor is extremely concerning for all Gosport residents. We have not been consulted at any time. Gosport is bounded by the sea, it cannot expand any more. Protect our residents and our proud military heritage by containing this project to it's original capacity.

This proposed development is becoming unsuitable for purpose. Whilst Gosport residents understand the need for an Immigrant Removal Centre, the development is expanding and there are currently no guarantees of local security preventing imminent deportees finding their way onto local streets and also how long this facility will be needed. Then there is the cost, which, along with everything else in this issue, is ruinously expensive and draining on national resources. HMG needs to get these answe... Read more

I wish to formally object to the proposed planning application for the Halsey Immigration Centre. I believe this proposal would have a significant and detrimental impact on the local community and should be refused for the following reasons. Firstly, the scale of the development is wholly inappropriate for the area and would place unacceptable pressure on already overstretched local infrastructure. Local GP surgeries, NHS services, schools, public transport and other community facilities a... Read more

Dear Planning Inspectorate, I am writing to object to the Home Office’s proposal to expand Haslar Immigration Removal Centre in Gosport. The application reference is CROWN/2026/0000005. Haslar has not yet reopened. The Home Office says the refurbished centre would hold up to 130 people, with reopening expected in 2027. The current application seeks permission to add up to 470 more detention places, taking Haslar to a 600-bed detention centre. I am responding as a concerned citizen, worried a... Read more

Again, it appears another clear case of sneaking things through the channels by the government. The planning application is very misleading, again typical government. I am a business owner in Gosport and I honestly do not know anyone that is happy with either the money been spent on the detention centre or housing immigrants on our door step. We are seeing our country invaded, and we (the government)are allowing it to happen. As a tax payer I strongly object to my taxes paying to house these ec... Read more

The buildings will be almost 14m high, overlooking small residential homes, with 600 men and 414 staff all creating noise throughout the night just 60 metres away from homes. The local roads will be swamped with staff cars with shift changeovers in the early hours of the morning 7 days a week. Only 259 parking spaces for 414 staff! The plans are so heavily redacted, they are impossible to fathom and yet the contact provided, refuses to answer questions. It simply is NOT good enough. This is a re... Read more

I object to the proposed expansion of Haslar Immigration Removal Centre\. While I acknowledge the Government’s responsibilities in relation to immigration, this application raises serious planning concerns that have not been adequately addressed\. My objections are set out below: - **Traffic and highway impact:** The proposal would significantly increase staff, contractor, service and visitor movements, placing further strain on the already congested and constrained road network serving...

Why are we not able to see what is happening. This is an absolute disaster for this deprived area. I think we need to be consulted and people's homes will be unsaleable. Disgraceful deceit

As residents we were shown plans for this development, which have altered drastically. The planning decision has now been taken away from a local level and will be dealt with centrally. This is underhand and not acceptable, considering the drastic changes that have been made. When plans etc have been requested, these have been shown with redactions, suggesting further underhand tactics. The plans affect multiple residents from not only a privacy point of view, but also a logistics point of v... Read more

The overdevelopment of the immigration centre will have a detrimental effect on the local area and Gosport as a whole. There is not enough provision for staff parking or parking in the local area. It is completely unfair on the direct neighbours of the centre and will affect the house prices in the area. Yet again people are not being properly consulted, plans going ahead without local planning, decisions made by people who do not live in the area or even know the area.

I am writing to register my strongest possible objection to the proposed expansion of the prison development. As a resident living on the road directly opposite the site, the decision to locate and now expand a prison facility here has had a devastating impact on my life. The proposed expansion will cause unacceptable, permanent harm to our residential community.I object to this application based on the following material planning grounds:Incompatible Land Use and Character of the Area: ...

This application should not be allowed for many reasons, it would be potentially be thrusting 800 unknown males into an area full of young children, and from what we have seen this would be putting those children immediately under threat. Also, the area does not have the infrastructure to support this added burden, have there been any plans for extra policing? Or extra monitoring for the area? It would be like putting a fox in a chicken run and expecting nothing to happen

The way that this is being pushed through outside of locally planning is wrong, deceptive and should not be allowed The plans have not considered the impact on local services, property price and infrastructure Gosport has always had a challenging road system and the increased scale of the development hs the potential to choke the road network. The development will mean that existing residential properties will I’ll be overlooked and will cause a reduction in property values This needs to... Read more

I am writing to object to the proposed expansion of Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. CROWN/2026/0000005. I object because the proposal would expand Haslar into a 600-bed detention centre which is four times the size of the current centre which has not even been reopened after refurbishment. This is planned as locked, secure detention centre, in an area of high flood risk. Detainees would not be free to leave in the event of flooding. Will the detainees, staff. visitors, emergency servic... Read more
