Winchester District Local Plan Review - saved policies

The Winchester Local Plan was adopted in July 2006. With the introduction of the Local Development Framework (LDF) system in 2004 local plan policies were automatically saved for a 3 year period from adoption of the local plan. 

This period however, expires in July 2009, but with the LDF still in preparation it is necessary to 'save' the local plan policies so that they can be used in making planning decisions.

The City Council has just received confirmation from Government Office as to the agreed list of 'saved' policies. Due to the level of detail guidance provided by the local plan policies, only those policies that had either been implemented or superseded by recent changes to regional and/or national planning advice have not been saved.

The following local plan policies will therefore expire on 7 July 2009:

Consultation E-Panel

Question MarkWinchester City
Council is establishing a new consultation panel to help when consulting about Council initiatives, activities and various proposals. The panel will be an 'electronic panel' and people will be consulted via email and the completion of online survey forms. It is envisaged that consultation will take place every two or three months and will consist of less than a dozen questions on each occasion (i.e. 10 minutes or less of your time for each consultation).
If you are interested in becoming part of the panel please email our Research & Consultation Officer, John Kelly - jkelly@winchester.gov.uk - putting E-Panel in the subject line. John will then send you more information and a short questionnaire to complete.
