LDF Bulletin
The Local Development Framework Core Strategy
preparation is about to enter its next stage following an extremely high
level of input from the local community, key stakeholders and Councillors.
______________
Your responses
Ensuring that the 47,000 comments from 3000 responders
which we received have been taken into account and acknowledged, has been a
big task for our Strategic Planners. We have also been working hard to gather
all the required evidence and site information for the next stage.
We have produced a detailed summary of the responses we had for each question
in the Issues and Options questionnaire. Please be aware that if you sent in
a letter or email your comments will have been summarised under the most
relevant question. Please note that these are summaries of the main issues
that were raised which are relevant to the Core Strategy and do not repeat
all the comments we have received in full. Each respondent has been given a
customer reference number and this is listed alongside the names and organisations.

the responses.

Stakeholder meetings
A series of meetings were held in September with stakeholder
organisations in 5 locations across the district, New Alresford, Bishops Waltham, Whiteley,
Wickham and Winchester. The meetings were an opportunity for a variety of topics to
be discussed and the key points of each can be read on our website.

the key points

Next meetings
All this information is being presented to the Local Development Framework
Cabinet Committee which will begin to draw up a preferred approach for the
district based on all the evidence gathered.
At its latest meeting on
October 21 the Committee discussed the vision for the Core Strategy and also
looked at the amended timetable for submitting all the documents to
government. This has been agreed by LDF Cabinet as follows
|
Stage
|
Date
|
|
Preferred Options (Regulation 25 informal Consultation).
|
March/April 2009
|
|
Statutory Consultation (Regulation 27, 28,
29 consultation)
|
December 2009
|
|
Submission stage (notification Reg
30)
|
Mid 2010
|
This revised programme must be approved by government and will be submitted
shortly.
The next meetings of the committee are being held on
- November 12th 2008
- December 16th 2008
Agendas and related documents will be available from our
website www.winchester.gov.uk
prior to each meeting.
Once a preferred approach
has been established, members of the public will again have an opportunity to
comment when all the information is pulled together in a preferred options
document. We will keep you informed of the publication of the Preferred
options, which will be the main opportunity to influence the Council's draft
before it is submitted to government.

Gypsy

Having considered information gathered throughout Hampshire and other
counties, SEERA is currently conducting a public consultation across the

resolving the present accommodation shortages which have been highlighted
throughout Hampshire and the rest of the south-east. The 'Somewhere to
Live' consultation will run until 21
November 2008.
