Redevelopment of Bishop's Waltham depot set to provide business units
Plans to create three new business units at a former depot at Bishop’s Waltham have been progresses a step further.
Councillors on Winchester City Council’s cabinet have given the green light for the development of the units following interest from local businesses in leasing them.
The plans come after OB Architecture was appointed by the city council to produce feasibility drawings for a business unit development on the site.
The move will see the buildings on the site demolished and redeveloped to provide business accommodation.
The overall internal floor area for all three units will be nearly 9,000 square feet and plans also include 30 car parking spaces and one lorry space being provided within a proposed service yard.
Deputy leader of Winchester City Council and portfolio holder for Economy and Arts, Cllr Rob Humby, said:
We know that businesses in the area are keen to use this space, and I am looking forward to seeing work begin on the redevelopment which will create jobs and provide an economic boost to Bishop’s Waltham.
The redevelopment of the depot also shows that this Cabinet is serious about supporting our rural towns like Bishop’s Waltham.
The scheme is subject to a planning application being submitted and approved later in the year.
