Prince Philip Park

In 2015 Taylor Wimpey, working in joint venture with Dorchester Regeneration, were selected as Development Manager for the Ministry of Defence to deliver the redevelopment of Prince Philip Barracks in Bordon, Hampshire. Once complete, Prince Philip Park will be a mixed tenure development of 2,400+ private, affordable, PRS, elderly care, rent to buy and custom build homes that meet the needs of the local market. The housing will be supported by a new town centre, employment space, a 54 hectare SANG, skate park, Sports Pavilion, primary and secondary schools some of which were delivered before the first homes for the benefit of the existing community.

Following the relocation of Army personnel, we have focused on a programme of meanwhile uses and community-based events to open up the site and raise the profile of the development. This ranges from operating open-air cinemas, trail walks, fitness classes and roller discos, to offering affordable workspace and letting existing buildings to local businesses. Working in partnership with the Local Authority (EHDC), Prince Philip Park was one of ten sites to be awarded Healthy New Town status by NHS England. This has involved working with a broad range of stakeholders and partners to improve the quality of place to help people be healthy, active and independent by delivering programmes such as interactive wayfinding methods, grow your own food opportunities, and holding cycling and setting up park run events. Working with local schools, colleges and businesses we are also creating jobs, education and training opportunities for local people.
