Results per page 25 | 50 | 100This proposal does not consider the huge impact on residents and the environment. Phase 1 activity has had a massive negative impact on local residents with sustained noise, air pollution and traffic problems including lack of adequate parking affecting residents on a daily basis. The proposal appears to consider one aspect only in that there is space to increase capacity regardless of the impact on the environment, local residents or adjacent regeneration activity. Notwithstanding the c... Read more

I object to your proposed development ref: CROWN/2026/0000005 on the following basis; I object to the proposed expansion of Haslar Immigration Removal Centre on the following grounds: 1. Inadequate Consultation and Transparency The scheme now proposed differs significantly from what was originally presented during public engagement. The scale, height and intensity of development appear substantially greater than residents were led to expect, raising concerns about the accuracy and transparency... Read more

I object to the plans to build three storey accommodation blocks which would not fit in with buildings and houses in the surrounding area. I believe that the extra traffic and parking has not been considered for the area. Has the pressure on GP’s and hospital services been taken into account? Finally, the three storey buildings were not included in the plans which were originally shown to residents.

I strongly object the proposed Plan for the IRC!. To quadruple the existing site is outrageous! There has been no consultation with residents in the local and surrounding areas and information has been withheld. Logistics have also been overlooked!! This site is at the end of a tight Double Peninsula in the bottom of Gosport where road connectivity is very restricted and means traffic heading to and from Gosport is already often at a standstill. The proposed plan would exacerbate this problem... Read more

As a resident of Gosport living very close to this proposed facility I am extremely concerned about the impact that this will have. We do not have the road infrastructure in place to cope with the vast number of extra vehicles that will be going to and from this site. It is difficult enough to get a doctor or hospital appointment in this area so another 600 residents will cause further issues. A development of this kind should always go for approval to the local planning department who unders... Read more

The refurbished Gosport IRC will eventually have 600 beds. A number of key concerns:- 1) How many relatives & friends is predicted will visit the inmates? 2) What provision will be made to transport these visitors or to enable those in private transport to park without disturbing the residents of the area? 3) Transport of inmates to & from Gosport IRC will create a regular daily flow of prison transport vehicles. Where will these be parked? 4) What security measures will be in place to prev... Read more

Natural England: Request for extension Natural England were consulted on this development proposal on the 14th July 2026. On the 30th July we discovered that key documents relevant to our response were redacted. In order to expedite a response and avoid sending a formal response seeking access to this documentation (which would reset our statutory consultation deadline), we sought to gain access to the relevant documentation directly. We received access to this on Wednesday the 5th of Aug... Read more

We are very much limited for space in Gosport, so I oppose a second phase happening on the Hasler emigration centre. Much of our services in the area are already stretched. We need to encourage people to come to our area and spend money, with so many immigrants in the area, this will keep people away. I don’t wish to attend any hearings. I get my information from our local MP.

I fully support the development of the Haslar Immigration Site to provide accommodation for people seeking asylum. These people have faced huge hardship & brutality to reach this country, with no legal route of entry available to them, they deserve our support to help them integrate into our welcoming community, as is our moral responsibility. The development of Haslar will provide jobs & boost the local economy.

At a public meeting we were assured that any buildings created would NOT exceed two storeys in height. This pledge seems to have been disregarded. The lighting that has already been connected is very bright but, fortunately, currently lowly placed in the road adjacent. We were also assured at the public meeting that illegal migrants would not be allowed to roam but it would appear that bail is being considered - again this would be a broken pledge from government to general public. Numbers of ... Read more

Regarding the Haslar Immigration Centre, Gosport, Hants. We strongly object to the proposed planning to make phase 2, which includes making the building 3 storys high and an extra 470 beds, now to 600. We have had to put up with years of Heavy lorries and Plant using the only 1 road to it, passing many houses as they pass. This will have a bad effect on all of us local to it as we are only a small community. Also extra traffic that will be generated by the many staff. It will also be much hi... Read more

My concern is regarding the potential impact that this could have on local residents and the surrounding area if any changes occur in the future and people held within the centre are allowed to come and go. This includes situations where people may be released on bail. This is likely to have security implications for nearby residents, as well as potential issues regarding traffic and noise depending on hours at which arrivals and departures take place.

I wish to object in the strongest terms against this proposed development. The site is less than 10 metres away from a number of private homes on the opposite side of the road. Its height, which will reach up to 12 metres, is completely out of keeping with the dwellings in the vicinity. The amount of car parking provided in the plans will be completely inadequate to cope with the anticipated staff and visitor numbers This will significantly impact on the surrounding residential roads, and impede...

I would like to endorse all that Dame Caroline Dinenage said in her correspondence to you and add some of my own comments. When moving to Gosport over 9 years ago I specifically chose the Hasler area for a number of reasons but primarily the peace and quite of the area, along with the amazing wildlife that used to inhabit the sea wall area. The wildlife that I have observed are Kestrel, Osprey, Buzzard, Red Kite, Skylarks, Swallows, Starlings, and many other popular birds, i.e. sparrows, blue ... Read more

I absolutely oppose this site , I have family members who live in the area, noise pollution disorder from this site and the cost to the surrounding area nobody wants to visit a town with this in there backyard, 600 undocumented men in the area is not good for a small town, as well as not mentioned what is going to be allowed leaving residents of Gosport in the dark , if these men are waiting deportation it means they are ardent criminals, and this facility doesn’t seem secure enough

This is a total waste of tax payers money. Also a complete affront to the homeless people of Gosport. Both the Tory and Labour party should be brought to task for allowing this to happen. Accommodation fir homeless veterans and you people would be better suited that what is being done now.

I wish to register my objections to the Home Office's proposal to increase the size of Haslar Immigration Centre in Gosport. I am unable to attend a hearing. The application reference is: Crown /2026/0000005. I am responding as a local citizen and a fellow human being. I believe thst holding people indefinitely is inhumane and will lead to mental health issues for these people. It is outrageous that 130 people are already being held in this way. To increase this number would be criminal. Th... Read more
