The Proposals

The Outline Planning Consent for Berewood MDA was granted consent by Winchester City Council and Havant Borough Council in 2012 for the development of approximately 2,550 dwellings with associated infrastructure and landscape works.

The development proposed by Baragte will seek consent for 112 high quality homes within the Berewood MDA. The proposed development will accord with the requirements of the approved outline consent to deliver a landscape-led proposal with attractive public realm and ecological enhancements.

The Planning Process

The application for Reserved Matters Approval on our first phase, Daubenton Glen, was submitted in July 2025 for 62 dwellings following public consultation in early 2024. Approval is anticipated by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

We are seeking to consult with residents on the proposed plans for Maple Grove. Once we have reviewed all responses we will submit the application for Reserved Matters Approval to Winchester City Council.

Context

Background

Design Code & Garden Suburb

Principle of Development

Outline planning permission for the Berewood Waterlooville Major Development Area was granted in 2012 for the development of approximately 2,550 dwellings with associated infrastructure and landscape works.

Since this time, Grainger Plc has been facilitating the delivery of the development by completing infrastructure works and releasing parcels of land to developers for residential development. If approved, the proposals will be the 12th and 13th parcels of residential development to come forward within Berewood, and would result in a total of 1,791 approved dwellings so far.

Design Code & Garden Suburb

Principle of Development

The principle of development has been agreed through the approval of the outline planning consent for Berewood. Maple Grove and Daubenton Glen are both allocated for residential development within the approved Masterplan Design Document.

This means that the principle of residential development at these phases has already been granted by Winchester City Council and Havant Borough Council.

Design Code & Garden Suburb

A Design Code has been approved as part of the outline application. The purpose of this is to set down design rules for the delivery of the Berewood development and to guide architects in the design of phases across the site. For example, it provides guidelines on the materials, detailing, roof tiles and fenestration to be used in each area.

This document is also used by the Local Planning Authority in assessing the reserved matters application.

The Design Code identifies our proposals as within the 'Garden Suburb' character area. The key design principles of the Garden Suburb area is for development to have a "strong landscape structure (setting and street scene) through the use of existing and proposed landscape features and street planting".

Surrounding Infrastructure
