Results per page 25 | 50 | 100I object to the Haslar IRC in Gosport. It is shocking and sickening to see this development and what’s being included for the comfort of those that are being detained, receiving a better quality of living standard and access to services than the majority of residents living in Gosport. This prime location overlooking the Solent could have been redeveloped in a multitude of ways to support the regeneration of our town and to improve the environment and living standards for local residents. It is ... Read more

I would be very happy to attend a public hearing. I am opposed to this planning application. The new Prime Minister is very keen to devolve decisions, processes and politics away from Westminster and empower greater “local” influence and decisions. Why then is this planning application being effectively forced through by the Home Office using powers that are a clear abuse of the democratic process. Furthermore, the documents supporting the Planning Application have been significantly redacted - ... Read more

I wish to object to the proposed expansion of the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. As a local resident, I have seen the Haslar Peninsula gradually evolve into one of the most attractive and promising parts of Gosport. It is an area with a unique combination of maritime history, heritage buildings and waterfront surroundings, and I believe planning decisions should reinforce that character rather than detract from it. My concern is not with the current use of the site, but with the scale ... Read more

Whilst I understand the need for centres, I am very concerned at the possibility of there now being triple the number of residents. The location of the centre is not conducive to the area

I wish to object to the proposed expansion of the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. As a local resident, my objection is based on the impact I believe this development would have on the future of the Haslar Peninsula and the wider Gosport area. Over recent years, significant investment has been made in regenerating Haslar. Developments at the former Royal Hospital Haslar, Fort Blockhouse and other nearby sites are transforming the area into an attractive waterfront community with new home... Read more

I’m very much against this as Gosport is a small town and suddenly we will have a facility with 600 men waiting for deportation housed here without hardly any consideration for the local community or consultation. I would like to attend a hearing as long as it is not within working hours as I am one of the many working people who will obviously be paying for these men!!

Objection to the increased size of the development due to the adverse impact on our community. Road safety - Multiple hazards caused by the traffic - magnified by being a country lane at one end with no public path, and residential road at the other. Impact on local Utilities I.e. increased strain on already failing drainage network. Very well publicised issues with Southern Water already having to dump sewerage into the Solent due to failing infrastructure. Impact on close by conser... Read more

As a local resident of Gosport I feel the increase from 130 to 600 migrants is pushing the limits of our small community too far. The risk of disruption, pressure on local infrastructure and safeguarding issues to the local community is greatly increased in a small confined area. The much smaller initial proposal feels more in keeping with the local area and infrastructure.

As a very nearby resident Iust express my concerns for a number of reasons which are belows however I must state my first objection is to how this has been handled by the government as a whole. Absolutely disgusting to overall a local government and ignore any of it's reasons fiest and foremost is an appalling mindest and frankly it's one of selfishness. The other concerns I believe are legitimate, the first of many reasons is safety for not only my family but other local residents also. Wit... Read more

Absolutely no need to do this. Already very over populated. Our own country is struggling, why bring more people into it who contribute nothing. Stop making places unsafe.

I feel that making these changes to the imagination centre we are opening gosport up to more crime, as the inmates will not be tagged so no one knows where they go, as they can come and go as they please, most of them are here illegally which is a crime, we should not help or support them, 99% are men, this will bring dangerous situations to are younger generations, mainly young girls its not safe.

I strongly object to this application. There is no precedent for an IRC of this size being in this close proximity to a residential area. The infrastructure is not in place and the size and height would not in keeping with the area and the surrounding houses. It will be too high and have a massive negative impact on the surrounding houses and people, with the noise that will accompany housing so many people, devaluing these homes. There has been no thought for the neighbouring properti... Read more

Gosport is only small. Secrets are being kept from us which is wrong. There are no guarantees the inmates would be permanently inside. We do not want them let out in public. The proposed buildings will be too high and not give security to residents of houses. Traffic in our area is bad at all times without the proposed number of journeys to be made. The car park was bought from the council in secret. Tell us the truth.

It is not acceptable to have this building on the Gosport peninsula. These men will only be returned if their country of origin will accept them and we all know that will not happen. Plus we all know that you will go ahead with the building of the Imigration centre because you do what you want to do and you do not regard the publics concerns only the welfare of those who will be in the centre. Its all cut and dried if the truth be known. 😡. I am not able to attend a hearing.

I’m objecting to the proposed phase of building the three story buildings at Haslar Immigration centre. These will be out of character in a residential area. The increase in traffic to and from the centre will add additional pressure on a very congested road system. The siting of such a centre is ill thought out for a small town situated on a peninsula.

I feel that as i have lived in gosport my whole life this would be a terrible mistake, not only for the impact of our community but the amount of money it will cost, which could be used on much better options for gosport. Kind regards

Objection to Application CROWN/2026/0000005: Proposed Expansion of Haslar Immigration Removal Centre I strongly object to this application. The proposal would transform Haslar from a refurbished 130-bed facility into a 600-bed immigration detention centre by adding up to 470 further places. This is not a modest extension. It is a fundamental intensification of the nature, scale and operational consequences of the site. The application is premature, inadequately evidenced and procedurally de... Read more

The construction work is already causing chaos and massive disruption to Gosport and Alverstoke. Gosport is a peninsula town is not a large town. Gosport has limited roads on and off the peninsula, none of which were ever built to cope with the heavy construction traffic. It is completely immoral that men should be housed in buildings that directly overlook homes. When this was an IRC I was a visitor. At that time the detainees were not ex offenders and it was run by the prison service. I was aw... Read more
