PLANS FOR NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD

at St. James Hospital Site in Portsmouth near Southsea

After extensive consultation with the local residents and community groups we have submitted detailed plans for the St James Hospital site at Portsmouth. The proposals are centred round preserving the lovely listed buildings and would create a unique and special place to live.

Director James Woodmansee said: “We believe this can be an outstanding development: beautiful listed buildings converted for living, new build homes of high quality, new play spaces and gardens all within a protected and enhanced parkland setting. It has taken many months to finalise and refine these plans and we are delighted to be ab le to share our vision with the public.”

The proposals would see the listed buildings converted to 146 properties, ranging from one, two and three bedroom apartments to three and four bedroom houses.

There will also be 59 new build homes, offering three to five bedrooms and an additional 25 ‘affordable’ properties that will include 18 apartments.

The landscape plans include a new 1km walkway, children’s informal doorstep play areas, new seating, wildflower planting and new hedges and trees and a series of formal and informal footpaths connecting the many amenity spaces and linking into the wider neighbourhood footpath network.

At the heart of the development, within the centre of the heritage buildings, there will be a series of courtyard spaces and gardens including a new Kitchen Garden of raised beds providing residents the opportunity to grow vegetables herbs and flowers.

Public consultation about the plans is now on-going ahead of being considered by Portsmouth City Planning Committee this summer.

PROPOSALS FOR PORTSMOUTH SITE

We’ve been selected to bring forward proposals to redevelop a large hospital site in Portsmouth.

St James’ Hospital, close to the sea front at Southsea, consists of a number of handsome Grade 2 listed buildings set in 25 acres of parkland.

There is a well-loved cricket pitch and pavilion and a Grade 2 listed chapel that will be retained with options for community use.

The buildings are recently vacant after NHS services were relocated to new facilities in the city and we are now consulting with the local community on how they would like to see the site developed.

P J Livesey Director, James Woodmansee, said: “The St James’ Hospital site is a landmark for Portsmouth and one that demands a unique solution. We have the extensive knowledge and experience to do this and to do it well and will be working alongside the City Council and the city’s conservation team

“This is an opportunity to redefine residential development within Portsmouth, providing unrivalled new homes on a scale that can make a real difference to the mix available, making the best use of a brownfield site and securing a long-term future for a significant range of listed buildings.

“It is an opportunity not to be squandered and our uncompromising approach to quality and heritage will create an exemplar development the local community and the wider City will be proud of.”

The first Community Consultation Event is being held on Wednesday July 17th between 2.30pm and 7.30pm at Portsmouth and Southsea Cricket Club, Locksway Road, Portsmouth. PO4 8LD
