Three regional housebuilders named as partners for Hampshire garden village

Three regional housebuilders have been picked to deliver the first phase of the Welborne garden village development in Hampshire.
The Buckland Group, lead developers on the scheme, has named Pye Homes, Thakeham and CG Fry & Son, who between them will deliver 600 homes with construction due to start early next year.
The Welborne development near Fareham has been dubbed the ‘garden village for the 21st century’ and will see around 6,000 homes, schools, shops, business and healthcare facilities and green space created at the site close to the South Downs and the Hampshire coast.
Plans for the 1,000-acre development had been in the works for 17 years, with the scheme now finally moving closer to getting started in 2024.The project has secured £40million in funding from the Housing Infrastructure Fund from Homes England, which will also be used to upgrade access to the development from the M27.
In total, around 30 businesses will play a role in the delivery of Welborne, all selected due to shared commitment to creating communities through the use of high quality materials.
John Beresford, managing director of Buckland Development Ltd, said: “At Welborne, we have formed partnerships in a new kind of business model where Buckland shares in the risk and reward with our build partners.”
“Our three partners won’t pay for the land until the homes are sold, which means that smaller, quality-driven builders are able to build schemes that would have normally been reserved for large-volume builders.”
Rob Boughton, CEO of Thakeham, said: “At Thakeham, everything we do is focused on the communities we create and the wellbeing of those within them. Welborne is an opportunity to build a generation-spanning, sustainable community, a great place to live.”
“The Buckland Group has committed to an innovative model of build partnerships designed to deliver a context of cohesive architecture using the highest quality building materials, and incorporating variation through considered build detailing.”
