Nutrient neutrality advice has applied across much of south Hampshire because of the Solent's protected habitats, and coastal schemes contribute to recreation mitigation for overwintering birds. The M3 and M27 corridors carry most planned growth, with smaller sites in market towns such as Alton, Andover and Romsey.
Before we make an offer in Emsworth
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Parts of Hampshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 125 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
