Planning

DECEMBER 2022 UPDATE

Following new information received in the Officer's Report to the South Downs National Park Authority Planning Committee, we have withdrawn our application requesting a temporary amendment to planning conditions attached to our festival at the Matterley Estate.

This decision does not affect our plans to deliver an incredible show in 2023 or our ability to hold future events on Matterley Farm.

The hard work continues to make Chapter 2: The Twin Trail the best and most sustainable show yet ahead of submitting a new planning application in Autumn 2023.

PLANNING HISTORY

In March 2021, we submitted a planning application to the South Downs National Park Authority. This application has since been withdrawn. 

The primary purpose of our application was to bring our planning permission capacity, granted by South Downs National Park Authority, in line with our licenced capacity granted by Winchester City Council. 

This is important as it allows us to demonstrate our commitment to the South Downs National Park and grow our event which brings huge economic, social and cultural value to the area. 

View the withdrawn application (reference SDNP/21/00290/FUL) here.
