An outline planning application for Welborne Garden Village has received a ‘resolution to grant’ by Fareham Borough Council’s Planning Committee.
David Lock Associates submitted the application on behalf of Master Developer Buckland Development Ltd (Buckland). Working alongside Buckland’s own in-house team of property specialists, David Lock Associates forms part of a wider consultancy team including AECOM, WSP, Barton Willmore and BECG.
Buckland’s focus is on placemaking and maintaining their long-term vision and involvement in the scheme. In addition to the 6,000 homes planned for the Hampshire Garden Village, which lies north of the M27 at Junction 10, the proposals also include provision for:
Significant local and regional infrastructure investment, including upgrades to Junction 10 of the M27 to allow traffic to enter and leave the motorway in both East and West directions, Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) service to Fareham, new access points and safety upgrades to the A32, and land reserved for a potential future rail halt;
Promotion of health and well-being through generous green spaces, walkable neighbourhoods, sports facilities, community infrastructure and healthcare;
Childcare and education needs with nurseries, three primary schools and a secondary school.
Green space and environmental sustainability are also ingrained in the Master Plan, with woodland, parkland, play areas and natural habitat creation prioritised through each stage of development. There will be 84 hectares of open natural green space and woodland, and 25 hectares of parks and green space, including 13 playgrounds.

The Planning system has been relaxed – The implications PART 2
Part one of this blog considered the temporary measures which have been introduced regarding relaxation of the rules on change of use in the high street and the extensions to permissions that have been granted. However, as the economy adapts to different ways of working, shopping, and socialising, there are profound implications for the way in which we will use buildings in the future and the demand for buildings in different sectors.

Economic Planning Post COVID-19
When COVID-19 entered our vocabulary earlier this year, the virus was considered to be a great leveller. We all stood an equal chance of being infected, receiving care, recovery and for some, sadly no longer being with loved ones. But in the space of a few months it has become clear that the virus discriminates.
