A rural village between Botley and Park Gate
Burridge's land has long been given over to smallholdings and horticultural plots rather than dense housing, which means many gardens here are larger and more irregular in shape than in the more built-up parts of Hedge End or Eastleigh.
Fareham Borough Council planning
Burridge falls within the Sarisbury and Swanwick ward of the Borough of Fareham, so it's Fareham Borough Council that handles planning permission and permitted development queries here, rather than Eastleigh Borough Council.
Larger plots, more flexibility
The more rural, spread-out nature of Burridge's plots often gives more flexibility on where a garden room can sit and how large it can be within permitted development limits, though the same rules on coverage and height still apply.
