The Solent Freeport was officially designated in December 2022 and includes four tax sites in New Forest District. The Solent Freeport Full Business Case set out that the initiative will unlock significant investment, create thousands of new jobs and enhance the region's credentials as a global gateway into the UK. The incentives to support investment on tax sites are now in place, including business rates relief and other incentives to support capital investment. At the same time, business rates growth which results from that investment will be pooled and reinvested across the wider region. The work being commissioned will form an integral part of the evidence base to be used to inform the policies and proposals as part of the Authority's Local Plan Review and to identify the resources the Council will need to engage with any port-related Development Consent Order applications for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.
