Planning decision imminent for Hulse Road, Southampton

Our planning application for Hulse Road, Southampton is due to be reviewed by planning committee tomorrow, here is a piece from today’s news with the full details:
Plans to sell off and knock down a historic police building in Southampton and build new homes could receive the go-ahead tomorrow.City Councillors will decide on the proposals to demolish the buildings at Hulse Road and replace them with houses and flats.
Until recently the buildings housed one of Hampshire Constabulary’s three major crime departments, as well as the Serious and Organised crime team, with some of the county’s most serious crimes being investigated and solved there.But those teams have now moved into the city’s central police station in Southern Road, while the Southampton and New Forest Coroners’ Office, which was also based there, was merged with the Central Hampshire office, based in Winchester.
With the site now largely empty, developer BB Property Ventures has lodged plans to redevelop the site with the city council.The firm – jointly owned by Burton Property and Bargate Homes – will officially buy the site if the proposals are approved at a planning meeting tomorrow. The proposals would see the existing buildings at the site knocked down and replaced with the new residential complex.It would contain eight three-bedroom houses, and a mixture of six one-bedroom, 26 two-bedroom and four three-bedroom apartments, as well as parking and landscaping.
Earlier this year, Burton Property director Adam O’Brien said: “The development would be of a very high quality.“We have done a lot of community consultation which has been very valuable and has played a key role in the plans we have submitted, and we are hopeful we can gain a positive planning resolution and revitalise this redundant site.”
Three objections have been made to the proposals; with residents living nearby saying the proposals would be an “overdevelopment” of the site.However, city council officers have recommended that the council’s planning and rights of way panel west approve the plans at their meeting tomorrow.Mr O’Brien said work on site could begin in the first half of next year if the plans are approved.

We are delighted to announce that today’s Winchester planning committee approved our outline planning application for 19 new homes at Torbay Farm, Upham.  The Bargate team, in partnership with Burton Property, will now begin working up detailed plans for this traditional country style scheme comprising a spacious mix of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom detached homes.
Upham is a beautiful rural village to the south of Winchester, surrounded by rolling fields with its own Primary School, village shop and traditional pubs.  These new homes are a much needed addition to the area and will be sympathetic to the local architecture.
We expect to start building the homes during 2015.  More information on this development will follow very soon.
 

New homes planned for Farnham

We have recently submitted an outline planning application to Waverley Borough Council for 46 new homes in the tranquil surroundings of Farnham’s Frensham Vale.
Working with Snug Architects, we have submitted an application comprising a mix of 2, 3, 4 & 5 bedroom homes – both private and affordable. The subtle but fascinating contemporary architecture blends beautifully with the stunning woodland countryside.
We anticipate more news on this bespoke development toward the beginning of 2015.
Please register here to be kept informed of this development.

We are delighted to announce that we have received approval to build a 50 home development, serving as an extension to our previous Allbrook Farm scheme in the Eastleigh village of Allbrook. This new Allbrook development is to be known as ‘Allbrook Meadow’.
Our 2013 Allbrook Farm development proved incredibly popular, as has our current Allbrook View development which is now all sold. For a number of reasons we have found Allbrook to be a very popular area with our customers. It is served by excellent schools, enjoys easy access to the M3 and wider motorway network beyond, Eastleigh railway station, the historic city of Winchester and Southampton’s thriving regional Airport.
The team are now working hard to produce designs and layouts which reflect our desire to build traditional 2, 3 and 4 bedroom family homes that complement the very pretty Allbrook Farm development. Unusually, situated to the rear of the development, there is a large open meadow which will be available to both residents of Allbrook Meadow and to the local community.
To be kept informed of our latest developments and for more information on Allbrook Meadow, please register here.
 

New homes for Horndean

We are delighted to announce another successful planning application for 40 new Bargate homes. Our outline planning application for 40 houses on Lovedean Lane, Horndean gained planning permission at East Hampshire District Council planning committee last night.
This development will bring much needed homes to this stunning area surrounded by rolling countryside but severely lacking in housing.
The team will now work up a detailed planning application in conjunction with the local community, refining the scheme to ensure the development meets our usual, high quality, Bargate standard.
We expect that building work will commence toward the early part of 2015. To be kept up to date about Lovedean Lane, please register your details here.

More new homes for Winchester

We are delighted to announce that our superb Huw Thomas designed redevelopment of the old Winchester City Fire Station has received unanimous support at yesterday’s planning committee.
This redevelopment will replace the Old City fire hall, training facility and yard with sixteen, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. Designed in perfect sympathy with the surrounding period properties, the Bargate designers and technical team will now set to work, allowing for these new homes to be completed toward the end of 2015.
Rob Lambie, Sales and Marketing Director comments “This location has already generated substantial interest from buyers, I feel enormously fortunate to be offering home buyers beautiful new homes, once again, in the centre of Winchester.”
To be kept up to date about The Fire Station, please register your details here.

We are thrilled to report that we have secured another fantastic development to add to our award winning portfolio, this time in the picturesque village of Barton Stacey just 11 miles to the north of Winchester.
Designed by BCM Architects this fabulous scheme, comprising 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes, reflects the eclectic mix of architecture found in this quintessential English village.
By virtue of great communication links afforded by the A34, M3 and A303 together with mainline railway stations at Whitchurch and Micheldever we anticipate strong demand from customers not only based in Winchester but Basingstoke and Andover as well.
Work will start on site this summer and the whole Bargate team are now working on detailed designs and wonderful specification to excite our customers.
