Funtley – from the Anglo-Saxon, "Funtaleg", "spring field (clearing)", is a hamlet or exurb north of Fareham, Hampshire, England. It forms a projection towards the South Downs National Park and is generally included within Fareham's population as it is within its built-up area. At present the village is unparished, as the creation of a parish council was rejected by Fareham Borough Council, despite having the support of the majority of residents.The village grew from the development of a clay quarry, the clay used to make chimney pots and bricks — acclaimed Fareham red (bricks) used to build premium Victorian buildings such as the Royal Albert Hall in London, and Knowle Hospital near Fareham. Sometimes known as Fontley by locals (reflecting its probable longstanding alternative pronunciation, as it appears in church use and many other place names such as Mottisfont) the village is no longer a discrete settlement owing to post-World War II growth of Fareham, it is an exurb in rural surrounds separated from the town by the M27 motorway. Its brickworks is long closed and the chapel closed in 2018. Its former clay quarry is a fishing lake. The village pub, The Miner's Arms, echoes its mid-19th century spell as a near-independent community.

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.
