Changes to the way Pre-Application Advice is given
The following changes to the way in which Pre-Application advice is given by Planning Control will come into operation on 10th December 2007. Letters have been sent to agents in addition to the information displayed on the web. For further information please click here.
1APP – latest update
We are still waiting for the final version of the Best Practice Guide for Validation of Planning Applications to be published by the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG). We understand that this guidance will not be significantly changed from the Draft version published in August. Consequently Winchester City Council is aiming to formally adopt their ‘Local List’ of requirements, as previously consulted on, with the aim of ‘going live’ with 1APP in the early part of 2008.
The proposed local list of requirements, and associated checklists, that WCC is planning to adopt can still be found on our website. For further information click here.
Agents' Forum
The next Agents' Forum will be held on Wednesday 9th April 2008 at 2pm at Winchester City Council, so please put the date in your diaries.
The agenda and programme will be circulated nearer to this date, but if you have any comments and suggestions for topics to be discussed, please contact Philippa Eldridge, E-Planning Development Leader on peldridge@winchester.gov.uk or Tel: 01962 848 124.
Live for the Future – the next step forward
The City Council began work on the Core Strategy in the summer of 2006. We have gathered a whole range of facts and figures about the District which are being used to inform the content of the Core Strategy and other parts of the LDF.
The Core Strategy will set out the strategic planning framework for the District. All other Local Development Framework policy documents will build on the principles it contains and must comply with it. Using all the information we have gathered we have prepared an 'Issues and Options' paper. The Issues and Options document was presented at the LDF Cabinet on 6th December 2007 where Members resolved to publish the Issues and Options document for consultation. The document will be available to view online and comments can be made through an on-line or paper questionnaire, or by email, from mid-December. We will also be holding workshops in January 2008 across the District - in Bishop's Waltham, Whiteley, Denmead, Alresford and Winchester.
For further information on how you can get involved please click here.
Winchester District Evidence Base
The Winchester District Evidence Base is information collected on key aspects of the social, economic and environmental characteristics of the district, which is used to inform the formation of planning and other policies. The evidence base is used to inform the City Council's and its partners' priorities for action within the Winchester District Strategic Partnership.
The evidence base is always being improved so please click here to see what has changed and what has been added.
