Stage 4: Final masterplan and outline planning application information

This will be the last opportunity for the community to view and comment on the proposals before the outline planning application is submitted to Winchester City Council.
Previous engagements
Stage 1 Consultation – Vision Statement & Design Principles
November 2023
In autumn last year, we launched the first stage of our four-stage consultation programme. This first stage focused on gathering feedback on our revised vision and development principles, as well as welcoming further ideas and feedback on the site and how it best fits in with and support the surrounding context. We are grateful to those who took the time to provide feedback via our website, speak to us at Winchester Market and attend our two consultation events held at Littleton Memorial Hall and the Henry Beaufort School in early November.
Stage 2 Consultation – Community Workshops
December 2023
The community workshops held as part of the second round of consultation and engagement in December encouraged further constructive, thoughtful and productive in-depth discussion on key topic areas of:
- History and heritage
- Context and site constraints
- Climate resilience and sustainability
- People and community
All feedback received throughout the first two stages of consultation will be considered as we begin to form the concept masterplan over the coming months.
Stage 3: Concept masterplan community consultation
Following the first two stages of public consultation on the future of Sir John Moore Barracks, which saw hundreds of local residents provide their thoughts and ideas on the vision for Sir John Moore Barracks, the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) recently held the third stage of consultation, seeking feedback from the local community on the emerging proposals known as “the concept masterplan”. Two public consultation events were held in September 2024, allowing local residents to view the concept masterplan in detail, provide feedback and discuss the proposals with the project team. All feedback has been reviewed and considered, with the concept masterplan now submitted to WCC’s cabinet process for their consideration. The DIO will be undertaking a fourth stage of public consultation in Spring 2025 on the final concept masterplan.
