What is Plans for Places...after Blueprint?
The purpose of Plans for Places was to consider the responses to Blueprint from both residents and businesses and suggests how these are translated into a development strategy for the Winchester District up to 2031.
It formed part of the Local Development Framework and bridged the gap between the Core Strategy Preferred Option published in May 2009 and the next version (Presubmission). Plans for Places set out in non-technical terms what the City Council thought the policies for the Core Strategy might be.
In addition to Blueprint, various technical studies were updated, including an assessment of the housing and population requirements of the District to 2031; these were all set out in a Housing Technical Paper, forming part of the Council's evidence base. In summary, there was a need to provide 11,000 new homes across the District over the next 20 years.
