The City of Winchester Trust

Who we are

The City of Winchester Trust is dedicated to ensuring that Winchester is a vibrant and desirable place to live, work, study and visit.

The Trust has three guiding principles:

1.      To maintain Winchester as a compact city within its landscape setting.

2.      To conserve and enhance the rich heritage of the city.

3.      To ensure that the city maintains a balance between the needs for homes, employment, retail, education, health, recreation, culture and visitor attractions that provide and maintain a vibrant local economy.

The Trust’s priorities include:

·         reviewing planning policies and decisions and considering all planning applications in the City.

·         Supporting changes to more sustainable travel into and around the city that results in less motor traffic in the centre.
