Call for Sites 2025
Have your say in shaping Winchester’s future.
As part of preparing our new Local Plan, Winchester City Council is launching a Call for Sites in October 2025. We’re inviting landowners and agents, to suggest land that could have potential for future development.
What is the Call for Sites?
This process allows us to identify land in the Winchester plan area that may be suitable for:
- Housing
- Employment
- Mixed-use proposals
- Gypsy and Traveller accommodation
- Green sites (separate form to the Call for Sites)
See How to Submit a Site to access the form
SHELAA Site Submission
Please submit new sites and re-submit sites already included in the 2023 SHELAA.
This is to confirm:
- The land is still available
- The landowner’s intention remains unchanged
- There is any updated or new supporting information
Sites from the 2023 SHELAA will not be automatically carried forward.
Call for Green Sites
In addition to the above, the Council is also undertaking a separate, but related Call for Green Sites to better understand what land may be available for the following purposes:
- Open space
- Offsite biodiversity net gain mitigation
- Nutrient neutrality schemes
The aim is to compile a live directory of sites that may be suitable for such uses, helping to bring forward for potential use. If you wish to submit a site solely for these uses, please complete a Call for Green Sites form. Please also confirm that the Green Site is within your landownership.
How to Submit a Site?
You can submit a site using the online form.
Deadline: This Call for Sites will run until Friday 21 November 2025
If you would like a word copy of the form, please email planningpolicy@winchester.gov.uk.
Please use our mapping tool to ensure we receive the correct site boundary. For guidance on how to use the mapping tool, please see our FAQs section, which includes a video demonstration. The mapping tool is available through both the Call for Sites and Call for Green Sites online forms.
