Location

Scotland Park is in a highly sustainable location, being within walking and cycling distance of Haslemere’s services and facilities such as a supermarket, a range of convenience shops, GP surgery, pubs/restaurants, children’s nursery/preschool, primary school, leisure centre and outdoor recreation facilities.

Scotland Park is accessible to local bus stops with services to a comprehensive range of local destinations. For rail travel, the site is within a 1.5km walk/cycle distance of Haslemere railway station, from where there are excellent connections on the South Western Railway network between London and Portsmouth.

These public transport connections provide sustainable access to major employment opportunities across the region, as well as businesses and employers within Haslemere itself.

Green Belt / AONB

The site for Phase Two is not located inside the Green Belt which would constrain any growth or development of Haslemere to the north and east. It is within the AONB, but this does not preclude development, particularly where there is a net gain to the community and biodiversity from development.
