We aim to:
• Be a carbon neutral town by 2036
• Be water neutral by 2036
• Reduce car journeys in the town to 25%
• Have a net increase in biodiversity
• create one new job per new home

Whitehill Bordon Eco-town is set in attractive countryside, it is nestled in beautiful open heathland and woodland. The area has a wealth of designated ecological sites and it is also a gateway to the new South Downs National Park.

It is the only parish in Britain to have all 12 native species of reptiles and amphibians.

The town is next to the protected European habitats of Woolmer Forest, Shortheath Common, Kingsley Common and Broxhead Common.

The regeneration of the town will ensure that the environment is protected and enhanced. We have set ambitious targets to make sure this happens.

As you can see almost all of these targets place the town’s natural environment at the heart of the regeneration.

A number of studies have been completed. These are all available to read in the Eco-library.
