Strategic Site 4: The former Fawley Power Station

Our Local Plan 2016-2036 Part 1: Planning Strategy has allocated this land, known as Strategic Site 4: The former Fawley Power Station for residential-led mixed use development and open space consisting of:

around 1,380 new homes dependent on the form, size and mix of housing provided, but predominantly apartments, within the central and southern parts of the site
Up to around 10,000 square metres of ancillary community, retail, leisure and service uses appropriate to serve a village-scale community, site-based activities and employees
Office uses and a marina may be included within primarily residential areas in the central and southern parts of the site, subject to demand and viability
Around 10 hectares of land in the northern part of the site for business and industrial uses (Use Classes B1 an B2) with a low environmental impact
Locations where sea access would be provided by the redevelopment to be prioritised for marine industries that require sea access, unless there is a demonstrable lack of demand

The area for the allocation can be seen below. The area of the development parcel is lined red.
