Redacted Documents A significant number of documents submitted in support of this proposal have been redacted. This prevents statutory consultees, including the local planning authority and highway authority, from providing a complete, accurate, and fully informed response. Material information, including vehicle numbers and operational details, is therefore unavailable for proper scrutiny. Healthcare Assessment Although the application acknowledges that local NHS services would be required... Read more

As a local to Fareham and Gosport i find it extremely difficult to understand that you can just add another 600 undocumented illigal immigrants to an already over populated area. So i do object to this project.

I wish to record my objection to the expansion of IRC Haslar. I fully support the objections already made on this proposal by our MP Dame Caroline Dinenage, Cllr Lesley Meenaghan, Suzanne Greenwood on behalf of Environment Agency and David Cranmer on behalf of DCC Town Planning. The Government recently announced its desire to devolve decision making to a local level; handing back powers to local communities. Yet the exact opposite is happening in this application. The fact that details are be... Read more

I have lived on Prison estates since 1971 and have lived happily in such an environment with no problems. I have no concerns basically with the intended Phase 1 expansion which appears to be similar to the original IRC which closed down holding approximately 100 immigrants. However I believe the intended Phase 2 is a very costly mistake. This is a highly populated residential area. It has already been proved that houses in Fort Road are unsaleable. This is not speculation but fact. We were a... Read more

I strongly oppose the Crown development plans for the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre . My objections are as follows The building of huge , tall accomodation blocks are literally neighbouring the residents of Fort Road. Just metres away from their homes. No thought seems to have been given to the appalling and detrimental effect that this will have on their lives. These residents lives will be one intolerable. They are now prisoners in their own homes. Decisions seem to be taken by ministe... Read more

I wish to object strongly to the Home Office's proposal to expand the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre in Gosport. I am a volunteer who works with asylum-seekers in Portsmouth, assisting them in their learning of English and assimilation into the UK. There are many issues about this development that concern me and many others, including environmental impact and the impact on local health and emergency services. But I would like to highlight my objection to the whole policy of immigration ... Read more

As the local Cllr for Anglesey ward, I have concerns that this initial consultation is very time limited. The Conservative Group on the Council and the MP have already made very detailed comments so I will not repeat them hear. I am concerned that so much info has been redacted which will lead local residents thinking the worse. I do not believe that so much needs to kept out of the public domain.

Absolutely no to increasing this site 130 people is more than enough 600 is absolutely ridiculous. This community cannot take this volume of mostly young men coming into Gosport, the community and-infrastructure of what that would entail and how would it impact on all of our lives here in Gosport? I am very very much against this I have a five year-old granddaughter who I do not wish and would not feel comfortable about walking around Gosport as I do now if there was an additional 600 men here....

I strongly object to the proposed increase in the size of the Haslar Immigration Centre from 130 to 600. This is totally unacceptable in a town of this size. It will have an incredibly negative impact on infrastructure,roads and the community. To inflict this project onto a community of mainly retired veterans is unacceptable. The elderly and vulnerable are extremely anxious about having 600 detainees who could potentially escape into a population of vulnerable residents.Knowing this governments... Read more

The buildings are to high. Taking some of the coastal path. Alot of people use that path. It will not be safe to walk along.

I am opposed to this proposal. The expansion from 130 to 600 ‘residents’ is too big a leap, the current site is not suitable for this number and would require significant redevelopment at tax payers expense. The local community cannot tolerate an influx of a rotating 600 residents with associated antisocial behaviour drinking alcohol and loitering, as well as sexual violence against women and girls. Gosport is an area of deprivation, it is not suitable for a holding centre of the proposed si... Read more

Objection to the Proposed Expansion of Haslar Immigration Removal Centre, Gosport I wish to formally object to the proposed expansion of the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. Whilst I recognise that immigration policy is a matter for central government, this planning application must be assessed against established planning law, national planning policy and the impact on the local community. In my view, the proposal fails to satisfy several important planning considerations. 1. Inadequ... Read more

I am deeply concerned about the changes in size/height of this development, about potential changes in its use, namely from an immigration removal centre to potentially an immigration bail centre and also I am concerned about the huge amount of traffic that will plague our neighbourhood. I am extremely unhappy that should some illegal immigrants be granted bail that they will be free to roam the streets of Gosport or will just disappear into the black economy, or go on to darker things like thef...

I am totally against this application which has by-passed the Borough Council and the wishes of the population of Gosport. I would like to attend a hearing if one is scheduled.

I strongly object to the proposed expansion of the Immigration Removal Centre beyond the scope of the original plans. Gosport is situated on a peninsula with limited transport infrastructure and a road network that already experiences significant congestion. It is not uncommon for journeys between Gosport and Portsmouth to take well over an hour during peak periods. The proposal is expected to generate more than 700 additional vehicle movements per day, placing further strain on roads that ar... Read more

I have lived in Gosport for 60 years and have seen many changes . The soon to be IRC is being updated to accommodate 130 people who have entered the country illegally. I understand that this problem needs to be addressed but this plan has not been fully assessed bearing in mind the proximity of this town. Gosport is a peninsular therefore there are only two roads in which to enter or leave the area. The congestion ,parking and emergency access is extremely frustrating. Gosport has already lost...

I strongly object the plans for the IRC. The home office have not gone through the correct planning process which would give residents a say on the matter. They have not been transparent and have been very secretive which is a big red flag. What are they hiding? The original plans did not include THREE story buildings which over look into people's houses just a few meters away and they did not say they would be SUPER SIZING the IRC to 600 beds! All the traffic movements throughout the day on an... Read more

I am totally opposed to the three storey high buildings that are now being built in the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. The original plans did not mention the buildings being built were to be three storeys high, this should have been put to the Gosport Borough Council for approval and I think it’s a total miss use of power, to inflict this on the residents my neighbours, without getting the approval from our elected Council first. With the current shortage of prison cells, I fail to understan... Read more

I would like to attend a hearing should one be scheduled. I am writing to submit a formal objection to the revised Crown Development planning application for Phase 2 of the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre redevelopment. While I have concerns regarding the overall scale of the site’s expansion to 600 beds, my primary planning objection relates directly to the unacceptable increase in height and scale of the proposed accommodation blocks from 2 to 3 storeys. Key Material Planning Grounds ... Read more

I would like to attend a hearing in the event one is scheduled. My concerns are that a democratic government should act with transparency. The plans set out by the current Labour government for the Haslar IRC are not clear at all. The local residents and council should have a say, unfortunately that has not been the case. Gosport is on a peninsular, therefore the size of the IRC is going to affect the infrastructure with excess traffic on limited roads to and from the centre.

I wholeheartedly object to this proposal. I have attached a PDF file detailing the reasons for my objections. I would like to attend a hearing. I have previously submitted four representations on here, none of which have been published. WHY?
