A PAIR of blueprints that will shape the future of Petersfield and East Hampshire for years to come are close to being rubber-stamped. An inspector's recommendation to make minor changes to the joint core strategy was approved last Thursday by East Hampshire District Council. But the strategy wasn't the only local plan that passed a milestone last week as more than 1,000 people in Petersfield had their say on the town's own version. Residents didn't pass up their chance to comment on the draft Petersfield Neighbourhood Plan during the impressive two-day exhibition at the Festival Hall.
