If the East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) believes that the housing targets set for them are unreasonable or forcing them to deliver beyond their capacity, there are several avenues they can pursue to address and potentially challenge these targets

  1. Engage with Higher Authorities (Negotiation with Central Government, Seek Adjustments)

  2. Provide Evidence-Based Justifications (Housing Needs Assessment, Capacity Studies)

  3. Revise Local Plans (Local Plan Review, Community Involvement)

  4. Utilise Legal and Planning Frameworks (Planning Appeals, Judicial Review)

  5. Advocate for Policy Changes (Lobbying for Policy Reform, Collaboration with Other Councils)

  6. Highlighting Negative Impacts (Environmental Impact, Infrastructure Overload)

  7. Public and Media Campaigns (Raise Public Awareness, Public Petitions and Meetings)
