Welcome to the website which explains our vision for Manor Parks, a low carbon, high quality, sustainable community proposed for the South Winchester Golf Course.
Owned by Bloor Homes, we are proposing a new community of homes for all, alongside a new school, local centre, community hub and open spaces – open to all.
Our Vision
Net Zero Ready
Our vision for Manor Parks complements the City Council’s 2030 Net Zero Carbon Ambition. We will deliver new homes to the proposed Future Homes Standard to reduce regulated emissions from new homes.
Nature
The new community for Winchester will deliver a generous space, enriched in biodiversity, on a site which is currently intensively managed and sterile across many areas.
Conserving Heritage
The new community will form an extension to the existing city, where it would make a positive contribution to the future housing needs for Winchester.
Homes for All
Winchester is amongst the UK’s least affordable housing markets, with prices well above regional averages. In 2024, the affordability ratio was 12.06; within the top quartile nationally. In comparison, the average 2024 affordability ratio for Hampshire and the South East was 9.6 and for England was 7.71.
A Place to Live Well
Central to all our values is supporting the delivery of a healthy, vibrant and cohesive community. We will do this by facilitating healthy independent living which will in turn reduce the demand on the NHS.
Sustainable and Active Travel
Winchester’s new low carbon community unlocks a unique opportunity to create a new place designed around active travel and a bus-first approach with “20 Minute Neighbourhood Principles” at the heart.
Vibrant Local Economy
At the heart of the development will be a mixed-use local centre with potential retail and healthcare uses alongside a mobility hub and a range of choices to access community facilities in the retained clubhouse, including potential space for remote working, space for club / societies to meet and a potential café
Single Ownership for Delivery
As the entire site is under the sole ownership of Bloor Homes, without any other parties involved, delivery and control over quality can be controlled.
