Like all significant developments in town and country, Eagle Star's proposals will be judged against a complex framework of planning controls. These pages explore the relevant aspects of Government policy, as well as the regional and local plans that put them into effect. |

 |
The Government outlined its plans for three million new homes across England in the 2007 Housing Green Paper. The proposals came in response to widespread concern about the availability of affordable homes. | |||
 |
County structure plans set out the policies that guide new development, improve the transport system and conserve the environment. Following new legislation, they are now being replaced by regional plans. | |||
 |
In 2004, the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act transferred strategic planning responsibilities from county councils to regional assemblies. Each assembly must now prepare its own 'Regional Spatial Strategy'. | |||
 |
The Winchester District Local Plan guides development in the area up to 2011. The plan reflects the location of new housing specified in the County Structure Plan, which rejected proposals for a new town at Micheldever. | |||
