Horndean Horndean is one of the largest settlements in the Local Plan Area. Population and household statistics that are available from the 2021 Census provide the following overview of the existing community:
Horndean is situated to the north-west of Havant with the A3(M) acting as a strong boundary to much of the built-up area. It is a busy, car-dominated settlement with a range of facilities and services, including convenience stores, a supermarket, primary and secondary schools and community halls that are distributed across the settlement. Due to its position it not only provides access to key facilities, but also provides good access to the open countryside including areas of woodland to the east. The South Downs National Park lies to the east and west of Horndean. There are a few listed buildings within the area. Of note is Merchistoun Hall, Portsmouth Road, an earlynineteenth-century house set in its own grounds and the ex-Gales Brewery (now flats), which fall within a conservation area. Horndean is not an area that is vulnerable to river flooding, but there are areas which are prone to surface water flooding. Figure 12.11 identifies some of the key environmental constraints for new development.
