Mountbatten Park Development

The Site

Located just 3 miles from the market town of Romsey, Hants, the new 300 home development of Mountbatten Park on the outskirts of North Baddesley officially opened its first show home in May of 2025. The development is the latest to bring modern living to countryside life, in the Test Valley area of Hampshire.

The Challenge

As part of plans, roadways throughout the Mountbatten Park development were constructed with a mixture of tarmacadam and block paved roads. One such road is the access road to Mountbatten Park from Hoe Lane. This key access road forms the entrance to the southern section of the development, as such experiencing a large volume of a variety of vehicular traffic, from cars, vans and larger delivery vehicles. The client was therefore keen to ensure the long-term sustainability of this access road under the weight and volume of expected traffic.

The Solution

Planners did not have far to look in their search for a solution to their concerns. Resiblock have a long history of providing successful sealing solutions within Hampshire, most notably at The MOD Worthy Downs site, where the Connaught Road access road of 2,300sqm had been successful sealed and stabilised in 2020. Resiblock could also demonstrate how Resiblock ‘22’ provided long-term asset protection within a housing development having sealed and stabilised 2,470sqm of block paving at The Alexandra Meadows development in nearby Lymington, Hants, in 2018.
