Additional Call For Sites
Additional Call for Sites – Land for future development, open space and nature recovery
We are re-opening a Call for Sites for consideration as part of the full review of the adopted Local Plan.
This is the third call for sites run by New Forest District Council as part of the local plan process. Please do not resubmit any site(s) you previously submitted during the 2024 Call for Sites or the 2025 Further Call for Sites, unless you have new or additional or updated information you want to submit in relation to the site(s).
Submissions will open on Friday 6 February 2026, and the closing date will be Friday 20 March 2026.
This additional ‘Call for Sites’ relates to land which is within the Plan Area (New Forest District outside the National Park). The extent of the Plan Area is shown in yellow on the map below.
This is an opportunity for landowners, site promoters, development interests and communities to suggest possible sites that may be suitable for development or that could be used in a more productive way or for a more beneficial use.
The Call for Sites is open to both previously developed land and potential ‘greenfield’ sites. We are interested to hear about potential opportunities for housing, employment and community uses, open space and land suitable for nature recovery or biodiversity, carbon, nitrogen or phosphate offsetting.
