Winchester's Joint Core Strategy (Part 1) now available

01 Jan 12

Chamber is pleased to confirm that Winchester City Council has made available their District Local Plan (Part 1) Joint Core Strategy Pre-Submission.

In August 2011, Hampshire Chamber of Commerce responded to 'Plans for Places - After Blueprint' consultation' which was an integral part of the consultation process.

The Core Strategy, which was retitled in Autumn 2011, will deliver those elements of Winchester District Community Strategy 1 which relate to the use of land, setting out the strategic planning framework for the future of the Winchester District up to 2031. Essentially it will:-

• set out a spatial vision for the District, showing how it will change in the
future in physical, economic, social and environmental terms to reflect the
vision and outcomes of the Community Strategy
• set the strategic objectives and key policies for realising the vision
• identify the amount of development and broad locations for change, growth
and protection, including allocating strategic sites
• set out an implementation and monitoring framework, together with a delivery plan to demonstrate how the infrastructure requirements necessary for the development strategy will be achieved
