Following an outline approval for 196 new homes, an increased number of units was achieved with a detailed permission for 200 units alongside a new country park, on land to the south of Bursledon Road, Bursledon.
Comprising 15.7ha of land, formerly used as a car boot sale site for many years, the project team included every built environment professional from architects to ecologists, transport, landscape, noise and geotechnical specialists, led and coordinated by Wessex Planning Ltd.
Working closely with a proactive local planning authority and local people, permission was achieved in 11 weeks including a signed Section 106 agreement. Highlights included round-the-clock management of a dynamic and hardworking team excited by the challenge of an incredibly tight deadline, with unwavering support from the client. Proof that hard work can also be fun.
