My name is Jacky Wilson, and I have the rather long job title West of Waterloovile Implementation Officer. I work for both Winchester City Council and Havant Borough Council but am physically more often in Winchester than Havant, when I’m not on-site!
My role is to make sure that the developers for this site deliver and do what they have either said they are going to do - by virtue of their approved planning applications - or what they are required to do by either conditions attached to the planning permission, or details in the signed legal agreement (called a Section 106).
This will vary over the life of the project and ranges from ensuring the correct tree protection is put in place at the appropriate time, to when they start building that the size of a house is the same as agreed on the plan(s).
The idea of this Blog is to move away from confusing planning jargon and present a regular ‘newsletter’ on what’s happening around and about the site. It’s written in an informal manner and is intended to offer information in a quick and easy manner, hopefully answering some of the multitudes of questions that local people and other interested parties have, before they’re asked.

Dear Jacky,
I am a website assistant at the Geographical Association, an educational charity supporting geography teachers. I am currently putting online a GCSE level decision making activity based around the issues of using Greenfield and Brownfield Sites for new Housing Developments. See http://www.geography.org.uk/projects/ks4ict/idea16 to get a flavour of the page in development (accompanying powerpoint and handouts are yet be added).
As you can see, the author has used the development around Waterlooville as an example and to enhance this page I was hoping to use the a) one of the photographs of the area where development will be taking place (in particular the picture of the protected tree) and b) the map of the proposed develeopment (as used in the banner of this blog).
I wondered if you could point me in the right direction to gain permission to use either or both of these images on our open-access site for educational purposes.
Thank you, looking foward to your reply.
Kind Regards,
Benjamin.

Great site…keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
A definite great read…:)
