Project Details

We're thrilled to announce our full groundworks package for Taylor Wimpey's flagship site in Alresford, featuring 302 homes and an industrial area.

Overview Of The Development

The development comprises three component parts:
- 302 new homes are planned in the north of the site (on an area covering 8.75 hectares or 21.6 acres)
- 3.4 hectares (8.4 acres) of employment land will be created to the south of the site, close to the A31
- 16.84 hectares (41.61 acres) of public open space will form the central area of the development
121 (40%) of the 302 new homes will be affordable homes, which will be a mix of properties available for affordable rent or shared ownership through a local housing association
The commercial land will comprise modern, purpose-built employment premises within an attractive landscaped setting
Public open space in the form of natural parkland forms the centrepiece of the development.
A new roundabout on the A31 will initially provide vehicle access for the construction phase of development. Once operational, this will be used to access the new homes as well as the commercial development in the south. A new roundabout off Sun Lane will provide a secondary access to the new homes.
Sun Lane will be realigned to give the Sun Hill Infant and Junior Schools the opportunity to expand and introduce new facilities. Furthermore, a ‘park and stride’ within the proposed development will help promote safe drop-off for the school.

In order to facilitate the new development, amendments will be required to the surrounding road network.
A new roundabout on the A31 will be provided to the south of the site. This will form the main access, both for construction traffic and then for the new residential and commercial development, creating a direct link onto the strategic highway network.
Construction of the new roundabout on the A31 will take place before any homes are built on site.
Part of Whitehill Lane will be rerouted through the employment area of the development site, to allow for construction of the new A31 roundabout. Vehicles on Sun Lane will follow the new link road through the employment area to rejoin the old Whitehill Lane.
Sun Lane will be realigned by Sun Hill Infants and Junior Schools to give the Sun Hill schools the opportunity to expand and introduce new facilities. Sun Lane will be realigned eastwards, into the new development, and a new roundabout will be introduced to provide access to the new homes.
A pedestrian crossing will ensure safe movement between the proposed residential area and schools.
