The event took place at Winnall Community Centre, on Garbett Road, and explored issues such as traffic and parking, community buildings, housing and green spaces.
To help research and develop the Framework, Winchester City Council has commissioned with support from Hampshire County Council a consultancy team from Parsons Brinckerhoff with expertise in planning, urban design, transport, economic development and community engagement. They will be speaking to a wide range of stakeholders in the coming weeks, and inviting people to attend special events, such as the jamboree, at which issues and potential solutions will be discussed.
Also attending the event were local councillors Fiona Mather, Janet Berry, Chris Pines and Vicki Weston, Winchester City Council's Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Built Environment.
Cllr Weston said: "Every neighbourhood has its challenges and its opportunities. Sometimes, long-term solutions need to be identified to manage these. This study will lead to a Planning Framework, a ten-year plan that will inform decisions about policy, funding and service priorities for both Councils and that will help to make Winnall an even better neighbourhood for those who live or work there."
Steve Brine said: "I know that the two Councils commissioned a similar Planning Framework for Stanmore a few years back, which has already led to a series of new developments and new, dedicated planning policies in the emerging Local Plan Part 2. I hope that this Winnall project will generate just as many interesting conversations, new partnerships and new ideas."
