Castleman Way, Ringwood
Castleman Crossing Business Centre is served by Castleman Way, a distributor road
linking Christchurch Road (to the town centre) and Hightown Road (to A31(T) at
Poulner flyover, via Eastfield Lane). New residential development has taken place
opposite the Centre, and the site is central to the main employment areas of
Hightown, Parkside and Millstream.
Ringwood occupies a strategically strong location, being centrally placed between
the important residential and commercial conurbations of Southampton/Portsmouth
and Christchurch/Bournemouth/Poole. The east/west A31(T) provides excellent road
communications in south east Dorset/south west Hants, linking eastwards to the
M27/M3.
Fast trains to London are available at Bournemouth Central, Brockenhurst (New
Forest) or Southampton Central/Parkway Stations. Domestic and European flights
are available at Bournemouth and Southampton (Eastleigh) airports. European Ports
can be reached from Poole docks where passenger and freight (roll on, roll off)
services are available.
Castleman Crossing Business Centre is fully serviced and the main spine road has
been constructed to full adoption standards and incorporates pavements and
landscaped serviced strips directly to Castleman Way, with access spurs to individual
plots.
An exceptional quality of estate planning and landscaped environment has been
achieved through careful control of the development.
Pullman Business Park is the most recent phase of development consisting of 2
storey offices.
The development has to date attracted occupiers involved in light industry,
storage/distribution, builders merchants and pure office use. Heavy industrial uses
will not be permitted and any development must comply with the authorised planning
consent for B1 (offices, research and development and/or light industry), and B8
(warehousing/distribution).
