The Funtley Deviation was a 2-mile (3.2 kilometres) long double track railway opened as a single line in 1904 and as a double line in 1906 to provide an alternative to the 1841 railway line north of Fareham which traversed the precarious Fareham tunnel. Unfortunately the deviation line suffered from stability problems of its own and it was eventually closed on 6 May 1973, in favour of the original route, and is now a nature walk with a small car park at the Highlands Road end. The route south of Highlands Road was sold for housing. Fareham station was opened by the London and South Western Railway on 29 November 1841 on the line from Eastleigh to Gosport. Later additions connected Fareham station with Southampton, Portsmouth and along the coast towards Brighton. The Meon Valley Line, Gosport and Clarence Yard Line, Stokes Bay Line and Lee-on-Solent Line from Fareham have all been closed.

Welborne is a proposed new town to the north of Fareham, England, intended to include 6,000 houses with businesses and community facilities. A plan for the development was submitted for central Government examination on 23 June 2014, and modifications were published in January 2015 following the inspector's preliminary comments. Fareham Borough Council formally adopted the plan for Welborne as part of its statutory Local Plan for the Borough on 8 June 2015. Construction is scheduled in phases between 2015 and 2036, and As of 2019 the town was due to be completed by 2038. Transport plans include an upgrade to Junction 10 of the M27 motorway and a bus rapid transit route. The Campaign to Protect Rural England is against the building of the town, describing the site as "a natural barrier from the urban sprawl of the Solent cities" and calling for the area to be designated a green belt. In 2011, a petition with 1,400 signatures objecting to a new town was submitted to the Council.Fareham Borough Council voted to impose Compulsory Purchase Orders on landowners on the planned site in 2016. The council expressed concern in 2018 that the planned houses could be unaffordable A submitted design for the site was rejected by the Planning Inspectorate in 2018, over concerns that the area's infrastructure would be inadequate.The Planning Inspectorate Hearings into Welborne took place in 2014. By 2022 building was yet to start, with the completion date for the first houses having become scheduled for 2023/24. On 6 June 2022 the Planning Inspectorate examined the 2037 Fareham Local Plan, and in the post-hearing letter noted that he considered completion of the first Welborne houses by 2023/24 to be "overly ambitious" and that the site "should be pushed back a year in the trajectory".In August 2023 the developers announced that three regional builders had been selected to build out the first phase comprising 600 homes. These were Thakeham, CG Fry & Son and Pye Homes who have been selected under a “partnership” model, meaning they will not be required to pay up front for the land. Payment will only have to pay for the sites once the completed homes are sold on to new residents.By December 2023, the energy centre which was to house the electricity supply for the proposed 6,000 homes had gained consent. However, in the same month, a report revealed that Hampshire County Council was "extremely unlikely" to be able to fund the revisions proposed to junction 10 of the M27 without further funding. The council then confirmed that no further funding was anticipated from National Highways or the Department for Transport throwing the junction scheme into doubt.
