Manor Parks: Bloor Homes to host webinar on major scheme

Bloor Homes is holding the online event on Wednesday July 26, starting at 7pm.
This will give people the opportunity to ask questions about the development at South Winchester Golf Course, which has already proved controversial with local people.

James Matcham, strategic land director at Bloor Homes, said: “We’re excited to unveil our vision for the South Winchester Golf Course, known as Manor Parks.

“Although the design of the new neighbourhood is at a very early stage, it is clear that parkland will be a defining feature.

“We feel that our plans for a low-carbon community, including 40 per cent affordable housing, a new primary school, community tennis facilities, park and ride and local community hub match the vision of the emerging Winchester Local Plan and we’re hoping to work with the council to deliver much needed new homes in this logical, sustainable and beautiful place.”

Bloor Homes acquired the freehold of the golf course in 2021, but reached an agreement with previous owner Crown Golf that the club will be allowed to remain open until at least 2026.

A South Winchester Golf Club spokesman said: “Without even mentioning the infrastructure incapable of coping with 1,000 more homes in this area, this cannot be accepted. This is a vibrant and successful facility for the local community, it continues to raise hundreds of thousands for local charities and is good for the health and well-being of its 700 members and hundreds of guests and visitors.”
