A name broader than the green
Sarisbury was once its own civil parish, with the church of St Paul at its centre, but the parish was dissolved and folded into the Borough of Fareham in 1932, so today Sarisbury exists as a place name rather than a separate local authority.
Fareham Borough Council throughout
Fareham Borough Council has handled planning across the whole of Sarisbury for decades, applying the same permitted development limits here as it does in Warsash, Park Gate and the rest of the borough.
Housing spread along the A27 corridor
Away from the older streets right around the green, much of Sarisbury's housing sits along and just off the A27 corridor toward Park Gate and Whiteley, generally on plots laid out from the mid-twentieth century onward.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sarisbury the same as Sarisbury Green?+
Sarisbury Green is the historic centre; Sarisbury is the wider area around it, taking in more of the housing stretching toward the A27 and the M27.
Does Sarisbury have its own parish council?+
No — its civil parish was dissolved and merged into the Borough of Fareham in 1932, so Fareham Borough Council handles planning here without a separate parish layer.
