Issues<br />
Nothing happens quickly in Winchester, and in the<br />
medieval city centre the pace of change can seem<br />
positively glacial. However, Thornfield Property<br />
have now finally received planning permission to<br />
redevelop the run-down Silver Hill area, to provide<br />
9,290 m² of retail and leisure space in 14 units.<br />
The scheme includes a 2,787 m² foodstore, 260<br />
apartments, 2,044 m² of offices, a medical centre<br />
and bus station. A successful development may<br />
require a compulsory purchase order to buy in third<br />
party ownerships within the site. This includes land<br />
owned by London & Henley, who own the Brooks<br />
Shopping Centre and have in the past promoted a<br />
rival scheme.<br />
St Thomas’ Passage, Winchester<br />
The UK’s largest planetarium opened in Winchester<br />
at Easter 2008. INTECH’s Science Centre provides<br />
a state of the art 176-seat theatre allowing visitors<br />
to explore the know universe through a high tech<br />
system of projectors and sound systems. The<br />
centre opens following a grant from the regional<br />
development agency, SEEDA.<br />
The owners of the Bar Offices at Barton Farm,<br />
Winchester, have let the converted farm buildings<br />
to English Courtyard Developments. The 232 m²<br />
office complex with 26 car spaces achieved a rent<br />
of £40,000 per annum on a new six-year lease.<br />
<strong>King</strong> Alfred statue, Winchester<br />
Maple House Investments have let Units 5 and<br />

spaces, and have been let on a new 15-year full<br />
repairing and insuring lease at a rent equivalent of<br />
£113.00 per m².<br />
