\n\t\tWe are preparing our proposals for land adjacent to Farnborough House and hope to share our plans with you in summer 2023. Keep an eye out for an invitation to future consultation events – we hope you will be able to join us!\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tSite Location & Context\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tThe site is garage courts and open space accessible from Fontley Way. It is bounded by Fontley Way on most boundaries and a grassed area to the south east. The site surrounds but does not include several tall residential buildings; Crondall House, Chilcombe Home, Rushmere House and Farnborough House.\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

The area that we are looking to prepare development proposals for is shown outlined in red on the plan below. We are not looking to demolish any existing residential buildings as part of our plans.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Farnborough\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\tFarnborough House Site Location Plan\n\t

The site is currently occupied by a row of 15 single storey garages and 14 car parking spaces associated with Farnborough House and a row of 15 single storey garages and 14 car parking spaces associated with Rushmere House, in addition to associated hard standing, open space and several trees. There is existing vehicular and pedestrian access to the site via Fontley Way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The site is well connected by buses. The nearest bus stop is on Alton Road, which is a three-minute walk via Fontley Way and Ibsley Gardens. It is served by bus routes 85, 265, 419 and N72.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tExisting Site Photographs\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tTo show the current uses on the site and in the surrounding area, we have included a series of photographs from within and around the site below.\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\"Farnborough\n

\n\t\tOur Emerging Ideas for Land Adjacent to Farnborough House \n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tThe identified space adjacent to Farnborough House presents a unique opportunity to develop unoccupied or underutilised space on the Alton Estate. We are in the early design stages of preparing our plans to develop the site. Our initial ideas look to demolish the existing garage blocks and develop the space to provide a new high-quality sustainable scheme.\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

We are currently considering ideas to develop the space to provide much-needed new council rent homes, which will help to meet the needs of our residents now and for generations to come.<\/p>\n

We are also considering ideas to improve landscaping and shared amenities for residents of the estate. We are not looking to demolish any existing residential buildings as part of our plans.<\/p>\n

We have started to identify site constraints and opportunities and established some key considerations to inform our design ideas and help to shape our plans going forward.<\/p>\n
