Robann Park139 Southampton Road, Titchfield, Fareham, PO14 4PR

Description
The site is approximately 1.06 ha (2.47 acres) and broadly rectangular in shape.

The subject site is located immediately south of the Hambrooks Garden Centre. The site is predominantly surrounded by residential development and care homes. Directly west of the property are large destination retail occupiers such as B&Q, Curry’s, Halfords, Pets at Home and Carpet Right. The site is flat, mainly grassland with a detached 1.5 storey property situated in the North Western corner.

Planning
The site achieved planning permission for the development of up to 39 dwellings with associated infrastructure, landscaping open space and access, including demolition of existing buildings (all matters reserved except for access) in November 2022 (P/19/1322/OA).

The proposed development equates to a density of 37 dwellings per hectare (dph) with an onsite affordable housing provision of 40%. The illustrative masterplan demonstrates the intended amount and location of residential development, the positioning, structure and hierarchy of the road network, the location of open spaces and the overall landscape framework therefore showing thpotential to increase density above the 37 dph. In addition to this the local authority have commited to adopting the highway once the land to the north gets developed.

This would free up land in th north east corner which would enable additional units to be created (STP). The Local planning Authority is Fareham Borough Council. There is little relevant planning history for the site, however the planning committee has recently resolved to grant outline planning permission in respect of land east of Southampton Road, Titchfield, for the proposed erection of approximately
105 no. dwellings (P/18/0068/OA) (dated 12/12/2018)(The Reside Scheme).
