GRAINGER INSTRUCTS ARCHITECTS FOR FIRST PHASE DESIGNS

Grainger, the developer behind the Newlands site in Waterlooville, Hampshire has announced the appointment of ADAM Architecture to produce detailed designs for the first phase planning application to be submitted later this summer. Initial designs are expected within the next four to six weeks.

The first phase of development, for which a detailed planning application will be submitted this summer, alongside the revised masterplan for the extended site, will include approximately 200 residential dwellings and will be located at the Northeastern corner to the site adjacent to the new roundabout on Maurepas Way.

John Beresford, Development Director at Grainger, commented: “We are very pleased with the initial design ideas that ADAM Architecture submitted in their proposal and look forward to seeing the designs for the first phase of housing. Aside from the practice’s experience in creating elegant and classical communities, its experience of the local area – being based in Winchester- was a determining factor when considering the two competing proposals we received. Newlands will see a diverse range of family homes built to respond to the needs of the local community. It is important that these houses fit in perfectly with the surrounding South Hampshire villages and respond well to the local vernacular.”

Newlands forms part of the West of Waterlooville Major Development Area and is expected to provide 2,550 residential units, alongside new schools, a community centre, public open space and commercial and leisure facilities.
