Results per page 25 | 50 | 100This development has been significantly altered from the original plan without any consultation with Local Council or residents. Local infrastructure cannot support an institution of this size without significant impact to residents. The whole process is at odds with Open Government. Impact on the community has not been fully and risk assessed. Little or nothing has been communicated to residents about the management and day to day operations of the site.

I would like the home office to confirm that once detainees are within HASLAR they are not allowed access to the local community ? On day trips even further into other communities ? What is the planning for transport movement in and around the site, fort road is particularly difficult to get in and out of especially during rush hours as there is a school and college approx 1 mile away, staff will have to travel in for shift changes and detainees being moved by transport at all different times ...

Having attended two past meetings, I find that there is no one in Gosport who have been consulted on this disgusting matter. We have homeless people plus pensioners who would love accommodation and medical treatment. What a complete disgrace this to this once wonderful country.

I am fully against the expansion of the current facility that will allow an increased immigrant population living near me and my family. I want full assurances that once detained, these individuals, who will most likely be young males of unknown foreign origin that do not hold the same values as myself and my family, are detained within the facility and are not permitted to leave the site.

I wish to object to the proposed expansion of the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre in Gosport. While I recognise the Government’s responsibility to operate an effective immigration system, I do not believe this proposal has adequately demonstrated that such a substantial increase in capacity can be accommodated without significant impacts on the surrounding community. The proposed expansion represents a major increase in the scale of the facility. This will inevitably place additional pre... Read more

No to attendance. I as a resident of Gosport feel that no thought has been taken into account of the impact this will have on the borough as a whole, also residents have had no real guidance of the plans. Gosport has had no say.

If I have to explain the concerns that Gosport residents have over the haslar detention centre it shows how out of touch the government are. All I will say is, let’s put the scheme in the hands of local people and vote on whether the expansion should go ahead. Our concerns are clearly about the worry of unvetted illegal people being in our communities. In addition the infrastructure of Gosport does not lend its self to such a large facility, traffic is already a major issue for Gosport residents... Read more

I wish to object to the increased in numbers for the Gosport IRC. It is appalling this this is to be permitted. The local community and industry will be affected by this disastrous decision.

It’s too small for that many ppl and absolute waste of money breathing new life into a decrepit site. Too close to residential properties.

Dear Planning Inspectorate, I hope you are well. 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 chang... 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 I am involved in migrant ... Read more

The size of the centre is being extended too large and is already too close to private housing the road around this centre will be unable to cope with the traffic has this been taken into consideration with the approval of the application

Once again the good ideas club has not thought about this, however no doubt it will go ahead and nothing will change Gosport cannot support this, the infrastructure is not robust enough. When the problems arise more promises and lies will ensue and the council tax will go up along with the traffic queues, pot holes and crime rate the sad lack of Police coverage (still weeds growing around the long closed Police station )whilst their hands are tied up with red tape, God forbid for they arrest...
