Rural Planning Seminar
Thumbs up for rural planning workshop
The 2012 rural planning workshop was held on 19 January at Sparsholt College. The event, which was organised by Winchester City Council, was aimed at rural businesses and landowners who are thinking about applying for planning permission. It was met with a warm reception.
The key note speaker, George Hollingbery, the Member of Parliament for Meon Valley, told the audience what is happening at a national level to cut red tape and help local businesses prosper.
During the event planners used case studies to explain what is involved in making a planning application and how proposals are assessed. It also gave rural businesses a chance to hear how Winchester City Council is making improvements to its planning application process to consider and understand the needs of rural businesses.
This workshop is one of a number of improvements the council has introduced to help rural businesses with the planning process. The council is also training two existing senior planners to act as Rural Business Advisors and has produced a new guide, Planning Guidance for Rural Businesses, which was launched at the event and explains how the process works. A copy of the guide can be downloaded as a PDF below.
