Welborne has been inspired by the English Garden City movement of one hundred years ago which produced enduringly popular, well-designed and well-built places which are still thriving today. Buckland have taken the very best aspects of these and combined them with everything needed for life today.

Their new community of homes, shops, schools, green spaces, and a science and technology park will be a place that people are excited to visit and proud to call home. Based just outside Fareham in Hampshire, when completed there will be 6,000 homes in the village.
