Site Description The site is located in the far south of the Local Plan Area, adjoining housing development in Havant Borough Council’s area. Residential areas lie to the south and west of the site. Land to the north and east of the site is undeveloped. Rowlands Castle lies a short distance to the north along Prospect Lane. The Shipwrights Way, a long-distance public right of way, runs along Prospect Lane (although there is no dedicated footpath to the north) The site is greenfield pasture with mature trees and hedgerows on the southern and eastern boundaries. There is a field entrance (gated) at the south-western edge of the site that connects with Prospect Lane. Public footpaths run parallel but outside of the site to the east and west providing connectivity to the countryside. New housing in the wider area is predominantly of semi-detached and terraced house types on a range of plot sizes. Residential buildings on the adjoining streets follow strong building lines.
