What brownfield land we want near New Milton
Brownfield land in New Milton tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours. Sitting about 26 miles south-west of Winchester, New Milton is within Hampshire, with Christchurch and Freshwater close by.

- Yards and builders' compounds within towns

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.
Before we make an offer in New Milton
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).
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 124 miles from New Milton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
