Planning applications for Welborne

29 August 2023

Planning applications received for Welborne Homes

Fareham Borough Council has received the first three planning applications to build houses at Welborne Garden Village.

The applications are from three regional housebuilders, CG Fry & Son, Thakeham and Pye Homes, which are each working with Welborne’s Master Developer, Buckland Development Ltd. Fareham Borough Council’s role will now be to consider these applications against policies in the Welborne Plan and conditions set out in the outline planning application.

This is the first in a series of applications and details of all applications will be added to the Council’s website as they are received. Residents are now able to add their comments by clicking on the appropriate link at

Executive Member for Planning and Development, Councillor Simon Martin, said:

“Fareham Borough Council has a clear vision for Welborne and well-designed housing that meets the needs of the wider Fareham community is at the heart of this vision. We have a responsibility to guide this ambitious development forward as the planning authority and these applications will now be scrutinised to ensure they meet all the requirements of our vision. I would encourage our residents to take the opportunity to comment on all three applications, as well as the Strategic Design Code that was submitted earlier this summer.”

Further applications will be received for the appropriate infrastructure to support the proposed new homes.
