Bordon is now only 30 minutes from Guildford with the new Hindhead tunnel opening on the A3. This now makes Bordon an Ideal communter town for Guildford. When the Army moves out in 2015 the area will definitely rise in popularity and this has already atarted to happen. New property developments such as this (and soon a new development of apartments on 1 & 2 Heathcote Road) are certain to be popular with Whitehill and Bordon’s commitment to renewables and Eco Town status.
With a planned Train Station to come sometime in the future this is sure to be a property hotspot for new, used and rental proeprties.
About Bordon and Whitehill
Whitehill & Bordon is situated close to the Eastern boundary of the County of Hampshire in Southern England. The Township lies approximately halfway between Portsmouth and London. The A325 Petersfield to Farnham Road runs through the town linking the M3 and A3M and providing access to Portsmouth, Heathrow and rail links to London.
Historically the area around Whitehill & Bordon is a magnificent patchwork of rich assets. Ecological and archaeological assets, some of national importance, include sites of special scientific interest (nine in total), tumuli, Bronze and Roman age artefacts together with extensive areas of natural Heathland and a local Nature Reserve (Deadwater Valley).
Today, Whitehill & Bordon has a population of around 15,000 people and is the 2nd largest township (after Alton) in East Hampshire. It is clear however, that the provision of services has not kept pace with recent development.
Whitehill and Bordon was one of six areas selected in 2009 for the zero-carbon project intended to meet housing needs and tackle climate change.
The council has revised its 20-year masterplan, which includes 4,000 new homes and an “eco-business park”.
The plans can be viewed at various locations over the next six weeks.
A consultation on the original masterplan, which also includes plans for the wider area around the “eco-town” development, was held last year and a revised version has now been published by East Hampshire District Council.
