Do you have a vacant retail space and aren’t sure what to do with it? We’ve produced a document providing guidance for anyone involved in repurposing vacant retail spaces (including developers, landlords and potential tenants). Repurposing empty retail units can really help our district’s high streets maintain their vitality – we hope that this guidance will help people make the most of their vacant units and help contribute to the vibrancy of our local economy.

You can find the document on the right hand side of this webpage. Please note this guidance is not exhaustive and if you have any questions, please contact our Sector Project Officer, Emily Reason, at: ereason@winchester.gov.uk.

Are you looking to grow your business in the Winchester District? The Economy team have created district-wide register of vacant commercial properties to support inward investment and business expansion. The register is updated regularly to keep you informed of any vacancy changes as and when they happen.

You can find the register here. ^{(xlsx, 51kb)}

The Economy team have compiled a register of co-working spaces available across the district. In line with the Council’s Green Economic Development Strategy, this register aims to outline the flexible, affordable grow-on/SME space that is available in the district.
