A small settlement with a quiet character
Allbrook's small scale means it doesn't have the terraced-street density of somewhere like Eastleigh, so gardens here tend to have a bit more room to work with for a garden building, though every plot is different.
Planning locally
Allbrook falls under Eastleigh Borough Council for planning purposes, the same authority that covers Eastleigh and Chandler's Ford close by.
