Morrisons supermarket H av The aim of this exhibition is to introduce Bloor Homes application and update you on work since the company became involved in the site. As you may be aware, the site already benefits from outline planning permission for new homes and supporting infrastructure, including community facilities. It is also allocated for housing in the Local Plan. Site plan ABO UT B l oor H om e s The Bloor Group began building houses over 45 years ago. Today it is one of the largest privately-owned house building groups in the UK, building more than 3,300 new homes each year from onebedroom apartments to luxury detached properties. Bloor Homes Southern region is based in Newbury and has developed sites across the south. The company has recently completed a development at Berewood in Waterlooville and is currently building at Fareham in Hampshire, and in Eastleigh at Fairoak and Boorley Park. The illustrations and photographs opposite provide an example of developments by Bloor Homes. It should however be noted that this application is for outline planning permission and that details about scale, appearance and materials would be dealt with at the next stage, known as the reserved matters.
