Fifty new homes will be built within the spectacular Grade II Listed main quadrangle building at historic Royal Haslar, alongside a 14,000 sq ft subterranean leisure suite with pool, gym and spa and health centre. 

Haslar Developments has received planning consent from Gosport Borough Council for the latest chapter in the transformation of the historic Solent-side former naval hospital, near Alverstoke, into a brand new waterfront residential and senior living community.

The homes, in quadrangle building Trinity House, will be a mixture of one and two-bedroom apartments over the ground, first and second floors within the North Eastern corner of the Georgian building.

Adjacent to the site’s main entrance, on Haslar Road, a former pathology unit will be transformed into a 4,600sq.ft. community health centre. A 291 space underground car park also forms part of the plans.

Within the Haslar Peninsula Conservation Area, and set within 24 hectares of historic Grade II Listed parkland, the grand Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian buildings that make up Royal Haslar form part of a waterside community originally built to convalesce sick and wounded sailors and marines of the Royal Navy. Operating for over 250 years from 1753 until 2007, it cared for the wounded from the Napoleonic wars, Boer War, WWI, WWII and Falklands Campaign conflicts.

Overlooking the waters of the Solent, Royal Haslar is currently being transformed into a new £200 million waterside village. Once complete, it will provide over 550 converted and newly built residential houses and apartments, including market sale and senior living homes, convenience retail, pub/restaurant and leisure facilities, plus over 50,000sq.ft. of business premises and a new Royal Haslar heritage museum, set in landscaped grounds, fronting the sea.

Royal Haslar’s main hospital building, and the largest in 18th century Europe, was designed by Theodore Jacobsen, architect of Dublin’s Trinity College, under the auspices of the Earl of Sandwich, First Lord of the Admiralty.

Pat Power, Director of Haslar Developments, said: "Royal Haslar continues to take shape as one of the most historic, beautiful, yet liveable places on the South Hampshire coastline.”
