Procurement Timetable and Overview Information

The 371 hectare Welborne site, located north of Fareham, will play a central role in the future delivery of both housing and economic growth in the region.

Welborne will be a new discrete standalone settlement built to garden village principles of about 6,000 new homes, supporting some 13,800 new local residents. Fareham Borough Council is determined to put strong communities at the heart of this, to create a new self-sustaining great and desirable place to live and a legacy for all to be proud of.

Welborne will deliver:

•  Approximately 6,000 new homes
•  5,735 new jobs and 97,250 square metres of new office, light industrial and warehouse floor space in 20 hectares of employment land.
•  A new village centre and two local neighbourhood centres with a range of shops and services
•  One new secondary school within the village centre and three new primary schools
•  New community and health facilities including a community building (1,800 square metres) and a smaller community hub
•  108 hectares of natural green space, play areas, allotments and sports facilities within the site boundary
•  Bus rapid transit to serve the village and the wider area
•  'All moves' junction 10 on M27

Fareham Borough Council has developed bespoke policy and guidance for Welborne to create a distinct new community with its own unique sense of identity to a high design quality, utilising cutting edge technology. This adopted policy and guidance embodies both garden village principles and the local communities' own aspirations.

Welborne is a sub-regional priority; it contributes 37% of the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership's target for delivering new jobs by 2036 and 25% of the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership's target for delivering new homes (Solent Strategic Economic Plan 2014 – 2020).

The Council has embarked on a new delivery strategy for Welborne, which is a bold and innovative proposal that enables Fareham Borough Council to drive development at Welborne forward to create a new standalone self-sustaining community.

The Council is keen to engage the market in early discussions on the best approach to delivering Welborne. The Council is seeking to appoint a delivery partner who shares its vision for Welborne and has a demonstrable track record in delivering the place-making and infrastructure required to realise Welborne.
