Bracknell developments coming in 2022 including 1,000 homes

This year, developers have applied to build some massive developments in Bracknell.

While work cannot begin on them until they are approved by the council’s planning committee, all five are set to be decided in 2022.

If all are given the go ahead, a total of 1,040 homes will be built in the near future and 10 new towers will go up in the town centre.

Of the 226 homes applied for, 79 would be two bedroom, 94 would be three-bedroom  53 would be four-bedroom, and up to 50 per cent of the development would be reserved for affordable housing.

Three of the new towers could be coming to Market Street in Bracknell town centre if plans are approved.

The project involves building the towers on the old Alder Valley bus depot site which has been dormant since the 1980s.

Two of the towers would be residential, with a fourth closest to the council’s offices at Time Square being used for offices.
