A coastal-fringe village
Set back a little from the shoreline at Hill Head and Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington itself is a mostly residential village of post-war and later housing, with gardens generally more uniform in size than the older market towns nearby.
Planning through Fareham Borough Council
Along with Fareham, Warsash, Park Gate and Sarisbury, Stubbington comes under Fareham Borough Council for planning matters, so the same permitted development limits that apply across the wider borough apply here too.
Coastal ground and salt air
Being close to the coast can mean more exposure to salt-laden wind than gardens further inland, which is worth mentioning to whichever installer prices up the cladding and glazing for your project.
