Results per page 25 | 50 | 100The phase 1 and 2 developments of the immigration centre are not what the original plans were. The height of the buildings to be built are in contravention of the original plans - how dare those in charge do as they please. If a resident contravened planning permission they’d be ordered to tear their structure down! This is a large residential area and the constant noise and disruption has been going on for nearly 2 years now, with no end in sight. Workers dump their cars in residential ro... Read more

To whom it may concern, To keep the immigration unit open let alone expand it is an absolute disgrace from the government, you get the final decision yet you are not the ones living right next to the place where the immigrants who don't abide by our rules. You're not the ones who have to worry about your family's safety living next to these people. If you waste mine and everyone elses well earned money that you take from us to put towards making this country better, yet waste it on this disgra... Read more

I would like to register my objection to the expansion of Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. My reasons are as follows There is significant uncertainty regarding the impacts upon the locality due to the heavily redacted nature of the documents and drawings provided. This means that we cannot fathom and properly ascertain the impacts upon the surrounding area particularly the properties that neighbour the site at very close proximity. Additionally there is no other IRC in the UK that is situa... Read more

The huge increase in the proposed number of inmates that this application is proposing will obviously greatly increase the number of traffic movements on the peninsula. Local public services shall also come under increasing pressure. Environment: The light pollution from the proposed “Prison standard” lighting The dust , noise, exhaust fumes from construction traffic….bearing i... Read more

Having attended the first briefing on this project at SBGC where we were briefed by Home Office officials and security experts on both the buildings the security of inmates and the safety of the local population. It does appear now that we were lied too, the size of the project is much bigger than planned including land grab for a new car park, another story has been added to the main buildings, and now we are told up to 600 inmates who could be released into the local community on bail!

We overlook the site and have no issues with the original proposal, but the extra accommodation is a step too far and not in keeping with the environment or the area. It will affect our view from our house and affect its value. The work still o far has been sympathetic to the grade 2 listed buildings and the Haslar site. The new blocks will be an eyesore and not in keeping with what we are expected to adhere to with listed building regulations.

My objections are as follows 1) I live quite close to Haslar and building 3 storey buildings could possibly impede on my view over the Solent and Isle of Wight. 2) There a lot of vulnerable residents who worry about their safety for example escaping from the detention centre. 3) Its not right that the Government have imposed this on us without a fair and reasonable debate on how this will impact our town. How safe will we be, can they leave the detention centre and go into town? 4) There... Read more

I wish to register my objection to the Phase 2 proposals for Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. My objections concern: The scale of the proposed development to triple its capacity without first assessing if Phase 1 of the development and whether it will adequately deliver the facility required. As Phase 1 is not complete this assessment cannot be made and therefore proposals for an extension at this time are premature and costly in both time, money and the emotional impact these plans have for...

We were led to believe that the Haslar Immigration centre was for the detention of illegal immigrants prior to their removal. However it has now been divulged that detainees could be released on bail !! No information has been provided as to where the bailed person will go, whether they'll be collected and transported out of the area or if groups of young men could be wandering about gosport when we have no knowledge of their background and any previous criminal activity.

I object to the plans submitted to GBC by the Home Office for the following reasons: Transport Links: 1. Adding to the proposed traffic movements of 700 plus per day from the IRC. There are 1200 new homes already in progress in Haslar Hospital redevelopment, which is half a mile from the IRC. Also within 1 mile of the IRC there are 3 other sites for housing redevelopment. The current road structure ( which consists of 2 roads ) will not support this huge increase in traffic. Bo... Read more

Gosport Borough is a small town that already struggles to provide employment opportunities for the local residents of Gosport. It struggles to provide fundamental health, social care and other services to the residents of Gosport.

Gosport is a very small town on a peninsula served by already very overcrowded roads and with little public transportation. Any increase of traffic to and from the Haslar site will add to traffic problems. The building works on the site have already caused two years of noise caused by the prolonged building works on the site and has had an impact on housing prices locally. The local population is extremely worried about the prospect of 600 men being,housed in our town, and there is nothing i... Read more

The addition of this side effects the whole community. U have yet to see evidence that this area will be tightly controlled. As this will be housing people waiting to be deported and known criminals I have family in the area and fear for their safety. This has not been up for public consultation there has been very little information on the impact statement on the area.

I object to illegal immigrants being housed in my local area for several reasons: the housing should be for local people, the obvious cost to the tax payers, the problems already facing our community with doctors' surgeries etc. Why should the British tax payers be paying for illegal immigrants and get such priority over local people?

I totally object to this plan and all of additional extra plans , especially building 3 story buildings as this would have a massive detrimental effect on surrounding homes as these would be seen from miles away. Gosport is a peninsula within a peninsula and can not handle this additional stress to its already fragile infrastructure and it would put a great strain on local housing that would be over towered by these buildings. This plan must never be excepted .

This is an extensive expansion on the original planned capacity. We are a small town which is already stretched in terms of infrastructure. There is limited access to the site along residential roads. It is unacceptable to put extra pressure on the town. Local residents will be facing many more years of construction disruption and property values will be affected due to the drop in desirability.

I'm against this development intended for illegal immigrants removal, as these people are unknown, alien people, the country has no information on these strangers, we know nothing about who they are, I'm scared to have this in my local community, near my family, that UK know nothing about. Until removal, none of them will be confined. I am terrified.

This is not acceptable, for the residents of Gosport, or for any legal, national person in this country. We should not be housing illegal immigrants full stop, we should stop them getting in to the country, or if they get in, they should be sent straight back, no questions asked!!! This is our country, and we have the right to live here safely, without fear of not knowing who is walking our streets and what they are capable of!

Yes I would like to attend. My own personal reflection on this development would be to ask why is our community only being asked to comment on our objections to a migrant camp being forced onto our community at this late stage when clearly work is near completion and any objections our community will have will obviously only be paid lip service to. The home office has already over ridden any concerns and objections we have.

I acknowledge there must a Immigration Removal Centre. Whether be in Gosport or anywhere else. However I must make a comment on link roads to the planned Immigration Removal Centre in Gosport.

I object to the expansion of Haslar IRC in the strongest possible terms, upon legal, moral and administrative grounds, as well as because of the harm it would cause to the local community.

Many residents share deep concerns about the IRC proposals. From this viewpoint, the Home Office appears to have pushed ahead without following the proper planning process, leaving the community excluded from decisions that directly affect their homes and wellbeing. The lack of openness throughout the development has created a sense of mistrust, and many feel that key information has been withheld. There is particular frustration that the initial plans did not mention three‑storey blocks posi... Read more
