Welborne is a new-generation sustainable garden village located between the
South Downs and Hampshire coast. Master developers, Buckland Group,
wanted to create a locality that is sensitive to the surrounding area and
villages, designing over half the area as green space and woodlands and with
traditional architecture and sensitivity to the local vernacular.
Welborne will be a new community of 6,000 homes and Buckland has
appointed three regional housebuilders to deliver the first phase: CG Fry &
Son, Thakeham and Pye Homes.
European Slate Co Ltd were chosen as the approved natural slate supplier for
this impressive project. Their Esco 402 Natural Spanish Slate has an exceptional
proven performance track record, making it the ideal choice in providing a
long-term roof covering to complement the Buckland Group’s vision of quality
homes that will stand the test of time.
Gary Dowd, Sales Director for European Slate Co, says: “This is one of the most
exciting developments to be involved with in the UK. As a local, independent
business we are grateful to Thakeham Homes, CG Fry & Sons and Pye Homes
for their confidence in our company and we are really looking forward to
continuing working with NJS Roofing as the first phase gets underway. We are
proud to be part of this legacy”
