Infrastructure first
Delivering important infrastructure from the start
One Horton Heath has a unique approach to infrastructure – we are putting it in first. Providing new roads, utilities, a school, play parks and open spaces before, or alongside, the building of new homes means that local people and future occupants will benefit from new better access and community facilities early on.
Our approach to infrastructure
Our focus on delivering infrastructure before or alongside the development of homes will mean that local people and new residents can benefit from improved access and new facilities at an earlier stage than is typical of housing developments.
Infrastructure progression
The first phase of infrastructure, including the northern and southern gateway entrances, the first section of the link road and extensive new informal public open spaces and habitat areas, was completed in September 2021.
Since then, infrastructure across the development has continued to progress, including highway and footpath improvements and the new 1.2-mile link road. Connecting the northern and southern gateways, the road links Hedge End with Bishopstoke and provides access to new residential and commercial areas. It also includes new junctions, shared cycle and footways, and extensive native shrub and tree planting.
The next phase of infrastructure
The next phase will see Foxwood Road extended through The Upper Acre, continuing the main route through One Horton Heath. The road will connect the new neighbourhood with planned community facilities, including the primary school, playing pitches, community centre and allotments, before linking to Fir Tree Lane and the wider road network via The Avenue and the new Allington Lane roundabout.
