Hart Plain is a residential ward in the borough of Havant, Hampshire, England, sitting close to Waterlooville and within easy commuting distance of Portsmouth. It developed largely in the mid‑20th century on what was formerly agricultural land, so the neighbourhood feels suburban with a mix of council and private housing, local shops, primary schools and community facilities.
Locally the area is valued for its practical community amenities and access to nearby green spaces and the rolling hills of the South Downs, making it attractive to families and commuters alike; economically most residents look to the surrounding towns and the naval and maritime workplaces in Portsmouth for employment, while a steady programme of local initiatives and voluntary groups keeps social life active.
