Thakeham and Pye Homes have received planning approval from Fareham Borough Council to build the first phase of Welbourne garden village, which will deliver 363 new homes.

Pye Homes will build 210 homes in the Dashwood neighbourhood of the village, of which 19 will be affordable. Thakeham Homes will deliver 153 homes, including 12 affordable homes.

The master developer of the scheme, Buckland, has formed a joint venture with three regional SME housebuilders, C G Fry & Son, Thakeham and Pye Homes to deliver the development.
