It is proposed for predominately residential development comprising circa 6,000 units, in addition to commercial, community and open space according to garden village principles. There will also be major infrastructure requirements for a new community in Welborne, the most significant are the works required to improve Junction 10 of the M27 motorway.

The Council is seeking to identify a delivery partner with the requisite experience, track record and financial capability to deliver the comprehensive development of Welborne. The chosen partner will be able to have a considerable stake in this long term, major development opportunity.
