Winchester residents believed that with the construction of 2,000 homes at Barton Farm, the city would be safe from further substantial development for some time. Not so. Last month (February) saw Winchester City Councillors and residents came together to organise their fight against The Kler Group’s application to build 188 homes on land off Lanham Lane, designated as countryside in the Local Plan. Meeting organisers consider this a cynical proposal by the landowner to piggyback government planning targets. However, councillors consider the strength of Winchester’s Local Plan more than meets government requirements.
