Nothing concrete but in the AutoNews article about Swindon they mention that European CR-V production will leave Swindon at the end of 2016, which I'm logically assuming is when Swindon takes up global hatch production.

Although Swindon could produce Euro 5 doors to its content until late 2016. the 10th is supposed to be on sale by year end, I don't know if Honda would leave Europe to sell their domestic Civic while the Global model is ready to go...This will double sales of Civics made in the plant, Honda predicts, but at the end of 2016 production of the CR-V for Europe will be transferred to Canada. The new Jazz, which launches in the summer, will be built in Japan instead of Swindon.
