VDS approved by City Council
After we had agreed the changes to be made as a result of the public consultation, the VDS was submitted to the City Council for formal approval.
Steve Opacic, Head of Strategic Planning at Winchester City Council, wrote that
…the Compton and Shawford Village Design Statement was formally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance at the City Council’s Cabinet (LDF) Committee meeting on 10 November 2011. ……
The Committee wanted to thank the VDS Committee for the work they put in to producing the Village Design Statement and to congratulate you on the end result. I am sure it will be a great help in maintaining the character of Compton & Shawford and improving the quality of new development.
We will deliver a printed copy to every household in the parish, and we are hoping to be able to do this in December.
