Winchester District Local Plan Part 2 – Development Management and Allocations

Call for sites

A key element of Local Plan Part 2 is the identification of land which is required to be developed or redeveloped to meet the objectively assessed development needs of the District, up to 2031. Local Plan Part 2 must be in accordance with the strategy set out in Local Plan Part 1 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

In order to identify suitable sites that may be available to deliver the development strategy, the Council would like to hear from landowners, developers, public authorities, or individuals from within the wider community, if they know of any parcels of land (even those with an existing building on it) which could be better used for an alternative activity.

This request also extends to service & infrastructure providers and community groups who may have a future requirement for new buildings or land and have a location identified.

Local Plan Part 2 will only cover that part of the District the lies outside the South DownsNational Park. The National Park Authority has commenced preparation of its own local plan with a view to adoption by 2016. Therefore, please only submit sites in the non National Park part of the District.

Submitting a site does not guarantee its subsequent allocation, and existing statutory policies including existing settlement boundaries defined in the 2006 Local Plan will continue to apply for the time being. All sites will be tested and assessed against the spatial strategy and other key sustainability matters (for example the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment). Therefore your proposed site may not meet all the requirements needed to become an allocated site.

Anyone wishing to propose a site should complete this form and return it with a map of the site to:
