Comment on Planning Applications

The planning application process allows you to comment on an application, usually within a consultation period of three weeks. Please note all comments received will be available for public inspection and will be published on this website. Any person or organisation can make representations on any planning application: occupants of properties immediately affected by a planning application are informed by letter, and a notice of the proposal is displayed on site.

The Council can only consider comments on issues relevant to land use planning. Guidance on these issues is available from the City Offices of Winchester City Council during office hours and by clicking here.
