Winchester Local Plan launch consultation

Overview

The Planning Inspector in examining Local Plan Part 2 concluded that there was a need for a review of the adopted local plans (Local Plan part 1 and 2), to commence in 2018 with adoption by 2021. With revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework pending, including the introduction of a standardised methodology for calculating housing need, now is an appropriate time to launch the start of a new local plan.

To help us identify the key issues that we will need to include in the local plan we have generated a few questions to start the process and would welcome your contributions.

Please note the local plan will only cover the part of the Winchester District outside the South Downs National Park, as the Park Authority has recently prepared its own local plan.
