AJC Group has submitted planning for 49 homes in Hordle, Hampshire, featuring 50% affordable housing and extensive green space.
Regional housing developer AJC Group has submitted a detailed planning application to New Forest District Council for the construction of 49 new homes in Hordle, Hampshire. The proposed 2.8-hectare (6.92-acre) development, located at Hollybush Farm on Woodcock Lane, comprises a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom properties. In line with local planning priorities, at least half of the homes are designated as affordable housing.
The progression of regional residential developments provides a steady stream of subcontracting opportunities for local trades, including bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, and plumbers. For local contractors, projects of this scale ensure sustained demand for core building materials, from structural timber and masonry to plasterboard and first-fix electrical supplies, typically sourced through local builders' merchants.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For local sole traders and sub-contractors in Hampshire, this development represents potential site work rather than an immediate shift in retail material prices. However, increased local housing construction will place localized demand on regional merchant stocks, particularly heavy-side materials and timber. Trades working in the area should monitor pipeline timing to secure trade account pricing and ensure material availability from nearby suppliers like Travis Perkins or local independents before groundworks begin.
