As part of its contribution to the Winchester City Council’s district wide consultation process known as ‘Blueprint,’ Headbourne Worthy Parish Council organised a joint meeting with Kings Worthy Parish Council for all residents in the Worthies to attend on Thursday 25 November.
The consultation process was an important opportunity to have real local input and enabled all residents in the Worthies to have their say about how they wish to see their community develop in the next 10 to 20 years.
The input by those residents who did attend and became enthusiastically involved in the whole consultation process was very much valued by the two parish councils.
Notes on the meeting and its summary conclusions are available here. (PDF)
Also available are the participating resident's discussion groups summary notes in respect of the 'character' types depicted in the 'Blueprint' consultation pack.
The Parish Council has forwarded all this information as its response to 'Blueprint,' to Winchester City Council, Strategic Planning Team.

Background to the Blueprint Consultation
Winchester City Council developed 'Blueprint' to get local communities debating their local development requirements in the future.
Blueprint remains critical to the Council in developing an understanding of the local needs and aspirations of the many communities which make up the Winchester District, which in the fullness of time will be translated into spatial planning policy through the Local Development Framework (LDF).
The LDF is the document in which the Council sets the planning policies which are going to shape the future of Winchester District.
The LDF will be made up of a package of documents which will help to make sure that development meets the economic, environmental, and social needs of throughout the district in which we all live.
The Council has to produce an LDF and it will eventually replace its current document the Local Plan Review (2006). |
