Winchester<br />

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 />

6 Moorside Place, Moorside Road, Winnall,<br />

Winchester, to Hampshire County Council. The<br />

units provide 967 m² of office space with 19 car<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 />
