Winchester car park to become 40-home affordable housing scheme

Summarised from Romsey Advertiser's report · Updated 6 Nov, 09:16 · Archive

Winchester City Council is moving forward with plans to build over 40 homes at St Peter's Car Park on Gordon Road.

Winchester City Council is progressing long-standing plans to redevelop St Peter's Car Park on Gordon Road as an affordable housing scheme. The council plans to build 40 flats and four houses on the site, exceeding the 30 homes originally earmarked in the Local Plan.

The scheme forms part of the council's New Homes Programme to increase affordable housing supply across the district. The council has been carrying out surveys and running an architect tender before appointing a design team to help secure planning permission. In August, the cabinet approved up to £480,000 for professional fees, surveys and site investigations ahead of a planning application. Caroline Egan, WCC service lead for new homes, said the council would provide regular updates to its new homes programme meeting every two months.
