It was open to all local residents and local groups that wished to participate. The Workshop proved to be a lively and informative event. We asked those participating to provide advice and knowledge on local issues that needed to be investigated before planning for the major development area. Issues relating to the physical features of the site, transport, utility requirements and the existing settlements and facilities were identified and prioritised. Detailed studies and surveys of these issues are now to be carried out over the summer 2000.
Transport avoid further traffic congestion in the local area.
Utilities control surface water drainage to prevent local flooding minimise the impact of physical infrastructure, such as power lines, by placing it underground. Existing Settlements and Facilities provide more entertainment and sports facilities. A full report of the Community Workshop is available from Winchester City Council at the address shown at the bottom of the page. Perhaps there is some historical association with the area or a local reference point that might generate some ideas. Please write your suggestions in the space provided at the end of the questionnaire.
