LDF Bulletin
During October, November and December 2008 the Councils
LDF cabinet considered all of the representations received to the Core
Strategy issues and options paper which was consulted on in
early 2008. Many comments were considered and councillors agreed a
series of recommended approaches to be taken forward to the next stage of
core strategy preparation.
See below for the minutes from the LDF meetings.
21st October Minutes
12th November Minutes
16th December Minutes
With revisions to LDF guidance from Government in June 2008 greater emphasis
is now placed on the allocation of strategic sites for development through
the core strategy. Two additional meetings have therefore been arranged to
discuss development allocations at Winchester Town on 28th January at 10am (Walton room,
Guildhall, Winchester) and on 12th February at 10am (Walton Room,
Guildhall, Winchester) to look at the sites in the southern part of the District
focussing on Whiteley and Waterlooville. Papers for both
meetings will be available from our website.

Next Stages of Core Strategy
Following the above series of meetings - a preferred
options document will be presented to the Councils LDF cabinet committee for
consideration and debate on 25th March 2009, this will
present the core strategy as a set of policies and objectives to be
implemented across the District over the plan period up to 2026.
The Council will then
approve this for consultation at its meeting on 22nd April 09, with the
public consultation taking place during May/June.
Details of the consultation arrangements are still being planned but will be
issued via this bulletin nearer the time.

Each
year we are required to prepare an annual monitoring report which is
submitted to government. This document covers not only progress in preparing
the local development framework but also our progress when measured against a
series of both national and local indicators.

Local Development Framework considers future
of Winchester Town
The future of Winchester Town is the subject of the latest Local Development Framework
Report. The Report considers how the district can meet its housing
requirements over the next twenty years, and how to ensure that we retain
and diversify jobs, allowing local people to live and work in Winchester.
