The brownfield land that interests us around Eastleigh
In Eastleigh, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Sitting about 7 miles south of Winchester, Eastleigh is within Hampshire, with Hedge End and Southampton close by.
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Hampshire includes the cities of Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester, the north Hampshire towns of Basingstoke, Farnborough, Aldershot and Fleet, and a large rural area. The New Forest and South Downs National Parks, several National Landscapes and Green Belt on the Dorset border in the south-west all constrain land. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, infill plots and urban brownfield land.
What decides whether a site in Eastleigh works
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
Existing floorspace
Vacant buildings can reduce affordable housing requirements in some cases (vacant building credit, England).
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 112 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.
