Miller Homes’ plans to build 146 new homes in Farnham have been unanimously approved by Waverley Borough Council.
The developer will partner with Wates Developments to deliver the scheme on the 31-acre site, which is located to the east of the town, and will comprise 54 affordable homes.
In addition to new housing, Miller Homes has also put forward the provision of a Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) to the southeast of the proposed homes development.
David Brown, managing director of Miller Homes Southern, said: “We are naturally very pleased to have secured reserved matters planning permission to deliver a well-considered scheme of 146 new homes in a fantastic location within South Farnham.”
“Our new homes off Waverley Lane will bring a great variety of new homes to the market, while also improving local facilities through an on-site play area and the adjacent SANG, which will feature trails and a significant amount of landscaping, to support existing tree and green space retention throughout the site.”
“We are pleased to have received the resolution to grant permission unanimously via Waverley Borough Council’s planning committee, and would like to thank all engaged parties and stakeholders in the process for working with us and Wates Developments, our joint venture partners on the site.”
“Miller Homes is now looking forward to putting the first spade in the ground and executing on our commitment to the delivery of sustainable new housing in Farnham, a town in which we’re already providing new homes at our Deer Park development off Hale Road.”
Miller Homes will build a mix of one to five-bedroom properties at its development, which will be named Waverley Gardens, and expects to begin construction work on-site in the coming weeks.
The first homes are due to be completed by the end of 2026, with a show home set to open on the development prior to the first confirmed occupation.
Natalie Flint, development partnering and marketing director for Wates Land and Developments, said: “We’re thrilled to have partnered with Miller Homes on the site at Waverley Lane. Wates is committed to reimagining places for people to thrive, and we look forward to seeing the plans come to life and help provide much-needed housing and new green space to the area.”
“The scheme will provide real value for the local community and reflects our continued investment in areas where we can create lasting and positive impact.”
