Family-run housebuilder Pennyfarthing Homes has secured planning approval for an exciting new collection of homes at Forde Valley, a mile northwest of Fordingbridge town centre. With plans to start development later this year, detailed planning approval has been granted for the first 74 homes at Sandle Park.

Sandle Park will be part of the charming Forde Valley neighbourhood, where Pennyfarthing Homes has already built an impressive collection of residences at Whitsbury Green. The new Sandle Park homes will be interspersed with greenery, including over a kilometre of new paths, 1,700 new trees, a play area, informal open spaces and a 2.4ha Alternative Natural Recreational Greenspace, for the benefit of residents and the wider community.

Sandle Park is set to deliver a total of 342 homes, with 25% designated as affordable tenures – including shared ownership, affordable rent and First Homes. The first phase will comprise 74 properties, 18 of which will be affordable and 56 offered for private sale. Housing options will range from one- to three-bedroom apartments in an elegant, manor-style building, to two- and three- bedroom bungalows, and spacious two-, three- and four-bedroom houses.

Ben Arnold, Land and Planning Director at Pennyfarthing Homes, comments: “We are delighted to have received overwhelming support from New Forest District Council's Planning Committee for the first 74 homes at Sandle Park.  Members of the planning committee praised the layout and appearance of the development, including the feature apartment building and the use of bungalows in the layout. The mix of properties will serve a range of homebuyers' needs here in Fordingbridge, creating a diverse community with a deep sense of connection to nature, thanks to its abundance of greenspaces. We look forward to commencing development work at Sandle Park later this year.”

Fordingbridge is an idyllic town within easy strolling distance of Sandle Park. Known for its welcoming community and surrounded by glorious countryside, it's a haven for walkers, hikers, cyclists and horse riders. A good selection of pubs, cafes and independent shops provide all the essentials of daily life, with an art deco cinema adding a splash of local culture.

For families settling at Sandle Park, the rich natural surroundings make it easy to focus on health and well-being. There are also excellent schools close by, with a 15-minute stroll putting residents in reach of everything from a nursery to a sixth form.
