The site occupies a corner position at the junction of Chamberlayne Road and Derby Road. The previous buildings have been demolished and the site is now cleared. It is level and broadly regular in shape.
Viewings
The site is available for viewing from the public highway during daylight hours.
Location
The site is situated approximately 0.5 miles from Eastleigh's busy town centre. The Centre is only 5 minutes’ drive from Southampton International Airport and the M27 & M3. Eastleigh Railway Station is a short walk away. The Centre has a wide range of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, and a new leisure complex. The town’s central bus station and main taxi rank are immediately opposite Eastleigh House.
Terms
Unconditional and subject to planning offers are invited for the freehold interest of the site.
Planning Position
The site is vacant brownfield land within an established residential area and which the adopted Local Plan (2016-2036) identifies as falling within the ‘urban edge’. The Local Plan seeks to ensure that as much development as possible is accommodated within existing urban areas order to ensure the sustainability of development, make best use of urban land and to support existing facilities and services. Policy DM23 states that within the urban edge, residential development will normally be permitted subject to the general development criteria and transport policies of the Local Plan.
In June 2023 a detailed planning application was submitted to Eastleigh Borough Council (ref- F/23/95574) for the construction of a 100% affordable scheme of 12 dwellings with associated landscaping, 11 parking spaces and a new access on to Derby Road. The scheme comprised a terrace of townhouses and a 3-storey apartment block, together providing:
3 x 3-bedroom townhouses (121 m2)
3 x 2-bedroom apartments (78 m2)
6 x 1-bedroom apartments (51m2)
Planning Refusal Wording
“The proposed three-storey block of flats fronting Chamberlayne Road would be out of keeping with the scale, form and appearance of the adjacent two-storey terraced housing and would result in an unacceptable impact on the amenities of neighbouring residents as a result of loss of privacy from overlooking. The development would be contrary to policy DM1 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016-2036) and the Quality Places Supplementary Planning Document.”
We believe that there is an opportunity to redesign the development to address the refusal grounds.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
