Long awaited planning approval

We are delighted that our application for a major mixed residential scheme in Bishop’s Waltham has been unanimously approved by Winchester City Council.

The application was first submitted in mid-2017 and we are wondering if five years for approval is a record. The approved proposal for Beechcroft Developments includes retirement housing, family housing, some affordable flats and a care home.

The site is very close to the ruins of the medieval bishop’s palace, on the edge of the bishop’s fish pond, and the proposals include the conversion of a Victorian mill.
