Pennyfarthing Homes has received planning permission for the development of 164 new homes on the edge of New Milton in south west Hampshire.
The company acquired the Danes Park site on Brockhills Lane in 2016 and subsequently promoted it through the emerging New Forest District Council Local Plan, securing an allocation in the adopted plan in 2020.
The development will deliver a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, two- and three-bedroom bungalows and two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, 50% of which will be provided on an affordable basis for local people.
Construction is set to begin later this year with the first homes expected to be available towards the end of 2025.
Ben Arnold, land and planning director at Pennyfarthing Homes, said: “This is an exciting scheme designed to complement the natural beauty of its surroundings and provide much-needed high-quality new affordable housing for local home-movers. We have long believed in the potential of this site to address housing needs in the New Milton and New Forest District area, and through engagement with the New Forest District Council and a wide range of local stakeholders we are proud to have now gained full approval.
“Bringing 50% affordable homes to this sought-after coastal town will benefit key workers and local residents who may not normally be able to afford to live in this area.”
