Tax sites within the New Forest will play a vital role in the delivery of the Freeport – with land at the former Fawley Power Station, Exxon Mobil, ABP's Strategic Land Reserve and Marchwood Port (Solent Gateway) making up the majority of the Southampton Waterside tax site. One key benefit of the Freeport is the retention of business rates above a fixed base level on tax sites for a period of 25 years from Freeport designation. The local retention of incremental business rates generated on tax sites is considered by government to be one of the most valuable elements of the Freeports package. Retained business rates over a 25-year period will provide a major resource for initiatives across the Solent. New Forest District Council Cabinet has agreed a number of priorities against which the legacy of a successful Freeport should be judged in the district. One priority is a focus on prosperous communities. The transformation of Totton Town Centre is at the heart of that priority. It is expected that, following completion of the Totton Town Centre Masterplan Framework, an approach may be made to the Freeport to seek support in delivering the proposals.", "children": [ { "id": "p7.1.1", "order": 2, "type": "link", "bbox": { "l": 72.995, "t": 746.33, "r": 188.72, "b": 731.02 }, "text": "Solent Freeport website", "attrs": { "uri": "https://solentfreeport.com/", "action_type": "/URI" } } ] }, { "id": "p7.2", "order": 3, "type": "heading", "bbox": { "l": 34.0697, "t": 544.0412, "r": 194.1013, "b": 526.7625 }, "text": "Strategic Planning Policy", "attrs": { "block_label": "paragraph_title" }, "level": 3 }, { "id": "p7.3", "order": 4, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 34.0697, "t": 508.7637, "r": 545.8349, "b": 360.2143 }, "text": "2.10 The TENP has been prepared having regard to the adopted development plan and to the emerging planning policy context for both parts of the Neighbourhood Area.

On 7 September 2026, the Government withdrew its previous decision on local government reorganisation for Hampshire, announcing a review of the programme. The previously proposed arrangements, under which Totton and the wider Waterside area would have formed part of a new unitary authority with Southampton, are therefore no longer confirmed and implementation activity has been paused pending the outcome of the review. New Forest District Council and Hampshire County Council will continue to exercise their existing statutory functions in the meantime.
