Developer Pennyfarthing Homes seeks feedback on proposed 67 dwellings south of Milford Road, Lymington

PUBLIC feedback is being sought on a proposed development of up to 67 new homes on land south of Milford Road in Lymington.

The scheme by Pennyfarthing Homes features a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom dwellings, including a number designated as affordable.

The scheme also includes details of public open spaces and pedestrian footpaths connecting to neighbouring areas to enhance accessibility. The online consultation runs until Sunday 29th September.

Pennyfarthing spokesperson Ben Arnold said: “We are committed to keeping the community fully informed about our development proposals and will listen to their feedback as we refine our plans over the coming weeks.

“Lymington, situated within the New Forest, is a highly sought-after area where housing is often in short supply. Our goal is to provide local residents with the opportunity to stay in the area they cherish.”

This land is part of the larger strategic site which was allocated for residential development in the district council’s Local Plan. Altogether the whole site is earmarked to deliver at least 185 homes.

Mr Arnold added: “The proposal will also incorporate children’s play areas and expansive informal open spaces, perfect for outdoor activities like picnics and dog walking.

“Significant landscaping improvements, including the preservation of most of the existing trees and hedgerows, will enhance biodiversity and contribute to environmental sustainability.

“In line with Pennyfarthing’s commitment to promoting sustainable living, the new homes will feature energy-efficient designs, access to electrical vehicle charging points, and facilities that encourage greener living, such as cycle storage and well-connected pedestrian routes.”
