Plans for Places... after Blueprint 

Following on from our very successful Blueprint consultation in 2010, we have prepared our response to it. We have taken into account all the many, varied and well structured comments we received through Blueprint, together with updated evidence and revised housing and population projections. The resulting document: Plans for Places….after Blueprint, will be considered by the Council’s Cabinet (LDF) Committee on 6 June, for approval for consultation during June/July.

The committee report and draft Plans for Places (together with the Housing Technical Paper which assesses a range of housing/population projections for the District up to 2031) can be viewed on our website. Plans for Places Committee Report 

Plans for Places does not include all the detailed spatial planning policies that will be included in the next full version of the Core Strategy. These will be developed alongside policies on key topics, which are likely to cover similar matters to those set out in the 2009 Preferred Option, revised and updated as necessary.

Consultation arrangements are in the process of being organised and a further newsletter will published when these have been confirmed.


Revised Local Development Scheme

The Local Development Scheme sets out the programme for producing the Local Development Framework and was last published in 2009. Given all the changes that have happened in the interim, with the introduction of Localism and Government’s plans to revoke regional spatial strategies, it has been necessary to update it.

The revised scheme sets out the timescale for the preparation of the Core Strategy and Development Management and Allocations DPD, together with a Community Infrastructure Levy charging schedule. The details can be viewed on our website. Revised Local Development Scheme Details 
  

2011Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) Update

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) considers how much housing land could potentially come forward within the District over the next 15 years. It is an important part of the evidence base for the Local Development Framework as it identifies housing sites which are potentially developable and deliverable in the District and needs to be updated regularly.
The SHLAA is not a document which allocates sites for development and nor does the identification of a site within the SHLAA guarantee that planning permission will be granted on that site.
The deadline for returning site submission forms to us to consider in the 2011 SHLAA is 01 July 2011.

If you want to submit a site, please use the site submission form which can be found on this webpage: http://www.winchester.gov.uk/shlaa  or email ldf@winchester.gov.uk
