Pennyfarthing Homes has been granted planning permission from New Forest District Council for the development of 164 homes on the edge of New Milton in south-west Hampshire.
Danes Park will deliver a mix of houses and apartments, 50% of which will be affordable. The homes comprise a range of one and two-bedroom apartments, two and three-bedroom bungalows, and two to four-bedroom larger homes.
The site on Brockhills Lane was acquired by Pennyfarthing in 2016 and was subsequently promoted through the New Forest District Council Local Plan, securing an allocation in the adopted plan in 2020.
Danes Park extends to 25 acres, 12 acres of which is allocated to green spaces, including public open space and play areas. The scheme has been designed with a village layout, featuring attractive meandering roads that enhance the local area.
Ben Arnold, land and planning director at Pennyfarthing Homes, said: “This is an exciting scheme designed to complement the natural beauty of its surroundings and provide much-needed high-quality new affordable housing for local home-movers. We have long believed in the potential of this site to address housing needs in the New Milton and New Forest District area, and through engagement with the New Forest District Council and a wide range of local stakeholders we are proud to have now gained full approval.”
“Bringing 50% affordable homes to this sought-after coastal town will benefit key workers and local residents who may not normally be able to afford to live in this area.”
