What brownfield land we want near Farnborough
In Farnborough, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Farnborough is in Hampshire, about 29 miles north-east of Winchester. Nearby places include Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- 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.
Checks we make on brownfield land in Farnborough
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
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, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 100 miles from Farnborough, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
