Persimmon Homes Acquires Site In Berewood

Persimmon Homes South Coast has acquired a new site for 92 homes at Berewood, which is located just outside Waterlooville in Hampshire.

The site already has outline planning permission and Persimmon have submitted a reserved matters application to confirm the final details with the aim of starting work on site in 2025.

Working with master developers Grainger, the site will see two new primary schools constructed, the first of which is already open, as well as the provision of a Local Centre that will include a community hall and medical centre. The site is set in over 250 acres of green space and residents can enjoy the 120-acre nature reserve, allotments, children’s play areas and the new skate park.
