This significant development opportunity is being promoted through the Winchester Local Plan review.

Macra bought the farm in 2020 and, aside from the clear development opportunity, we are looking to provide nutrient and biodiversity credits on the land proposed for a
country park.

The development would be accessed from Hoad’s Hill to the east of the site, with the development area ’rounding off’ the southern tip of Wickham. The remaining land would be turned into public open space to protect the gap between Wickham and the strategic development site – Welborne.

In addition to the circa 160 houses, the site can also provide around 60 Bio-Diversity Net Gain credits that can be sold.

The site is being promoted through the current Winchester Local Plan Review, we are confident that the site will be allocated in due course. We continue to work closely with Wickham & Knowle Parish who have now confirmed this site as their preferred allocation.
