On 6th December the Council's Cabinet (LDF)
Committee agreed to the publication of the Core Strategy Issues and
Options paper for consultation purposes.
The Core Strategy
takes its lead from the South East Plan, the Regional Spatial
Strategy (RSS) covering this area, and will have to conform to its
strategies and policies. The prime challenge that the South East
Plan poses for the District is the need to accommodate an additional
12,240 dwellings over the next 20 years, it is within this context
that the Issues and Options paper has been prepared.
The
Core Strategy is a high level document covering the whole of the
Winchester District. It looks forward to 2026 and sets out a vision
and a series of objectives of how we wish to see the District change
and what type of place it will become.

Issues and Options
Paper
The Issues and Options paper does
not go into detail of how each place may change but explores options
as to how this may happen. It is important for the City Council to
examine all realistic, alternative options as failure to do so may
mean that we will have to repeat this exercise. The options
presented are for consultation, the City Council is not promoting
any particular options at this stage.
The Issues and Options
paper does not include options for everything - only those matters
that require change in order to ensure that subsequent development
takes place in the right location to maintain and create sustainable
communities.

Development Provision
and Allocations Document
To support the Local
Development Framework's Core Strategy, work is about to begin on a
Site Allocations Development Plan Document. This will introduce and
identify site-specific designations to meet the need for housing,
employment, retail, community, leisure and transport provision
within the District. Suitable sites to meet these needs will be the
subject of detailed assessment and public consultation.
The
Council would like to hear from landowners, developers, public
authorities or individuals from the wider community. If you have a
site to suggest please use the link to find out more about this part
of the process and how to register your interest.
