We will work with the Council and the local community to produce a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), which will set out detailed objectives for the rejuvenation of the area and its wider context, through an extensive collaborative planning process.

The Central Winchester Informal Policy Group prioritised the appointment of a practice with multi-disciplinary skills, expertise of working in areas with significant heritage and cultural assets and a strong track record in public engagement, in order to ensure widespread public and stakeholder support that will underpin the efficient and effective delivery of a viable regeneration scheme.

Cllr Victoria Weston, Chairman of the Informal Policy Group said: “The Central Winchester Informal Policy Group is delighted to be working with JTP and their team on this exciting opportunity to work with the public and stakeholders to formulate guidance for the regeneration of Central Winchester.”

Marcus Adams, JTP Managing Partner, said: “We recognise the significance of this site in activating the wider regeneration of Winchester, and appreciate its rich heritage which will play an important part in informing the framework.

Through our unique collaborative design processes we will aim to build a consensus to create a distinctive place, reimaging and enhancing the character and identity of Winchester.”

Work on the project will begin early this year by a multidisciplinary urban design team, which in addition to JTP includes Snug Architects, UBU Design Ltd and Atkins, as well as property consultants Propernomics and Rocmor with Osmond Brookes.
