Housebuilder Bargate has submitted an outline planning application for a residential development in the coastal village of Stubbington, Hampshire.
The 9.2-acre site, which is located west of Old Street and adjacent to Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve, could deliver 62 thermally efficient homes, alongside a large area of public open space.
Some 40% of the plots are proposed for affordable housing, with an additional 10% designated for self-build/custom-built homes.
The plans for the mixed-tenure development offer a variety of open-market housing options to suit first-time buyers, growing families and downsizers, with the affordable provision to be delivered for Bargate’s owner VIVID.
Luke Vallins, head of planning at Bargate, said: “This application sets out our proposals for a landscape-led, unique development that will help to address local housing needs. The demand for energy efficient homes in Stubbington is fuelled by the desirable blend of coastal and countryside living, with convenient access to amenities.
“We have worked alongside Fareham Borough Council for the last seven years to bring this site forward as a sensitively designed development. The proposed number of homes has been reduced, boosting the landscaping provision with well over three times the required public open space. We have also drawn up a reconfigured road network and added ‘green links’. Our internal team and consultants will continue to work with officers, elected officials and stakeholders as this application progresses through the planning system.”
