1 · What is planned

Homes and stage

151 converted residences in listed buildings (PJ Livesey) plus new-build homes. No reliable combined total found.

Where it stands: Development has been under way for several years; PJ Livesey reportedly bought the land in January 2019. Show homes are open. The precise construction start was not verified.

Planning: Permission details not verified in this pass. Reference reported from the council register, which blocks scripted access.

2 · Can I buy?

First-time buyers

Full-ownership homes. New two- and three-bedroom homes advertised from £324,950 and heritage apartments (one to three bedrooms) from £249,950 (checked 10 November 2026). Three-bedroom homes at £324,950 below the reported Your First Home price cap for Portsmouth (£340,000); whether PJ Livesey will join that scheme is unconfirmed. Do not assume shared ownership is available.

What comes with the homes

“Proposed” means part of the scheme or application. “Not found” means no secured obligation could be verified, not that none exists.

  • Parking Reported The developer says every home has dedicated parking (checked on its page, 10 November 2026).
  • Schools Not found Not verified.
  • SEND places Not found Not verified.
  • GP and health Not found Not verified.

5 · Energy

Heating and solar

Marketed as A-rated with eco-friendly features as standard (developer claim). Heating, solar and Future Homes Standard compliance per plot not established; heritage conversions differ from new build.

The Future Homes Standard regulations are due to come into force on 24 March 2027 with transitional arrangements; whether they apply to a building depends on its building-control application and commencement dates. Solar panels, heat pumps or an A-rated certificate do not by themselves show compliance, and compliance does not require a heat pump in every flat.
