Somers Orchard creates a high-quality, sustainable, mixed-use urban neighbourhood for Portsmouth City Council (PCC). The project is an ambitious and pioneering community-led renewal of the estate that surrounds two structurally unsound, 1960s high-rise buildings, Horatia House and Leamington House. The scheme will provide 566 mixed tenure homes alongside wider public realm improvements which will meaningfully repair the urban fabric and reconnect the neighbourhood to its surroundings. The site is strategically important and prominently situated on the edge of the city centre to the northwest of Somerstown in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
