The latest chunk homes as part of thousands coming to a Berkshire village are set for approval.

Warfield will see some 2,200 homes built in a major transformation of the small village in coming years, with many already built.

The Warfield Strategic Development, first approved in 2015, will deliver not only thousands of homes, but employment, a neighbourhood centre, two primary schools and a community hub to the area.

This is to ensure enough infrastructure is built to support the growing populations in an area which has been ‘undeserved’ in its community facilities.

Now, the fate of 16 more homes on land rear of Warfield Priory is set for approval by Bracknell Forest Council’s planning committee.

Developers Escrillon Properties would like to demolish a garage on the site and build 16 new homes in its place, along with parking and green spaces.

Access would be through Old Priory Lane, following the demolition of the existing garage.

The new homes would be a mixture in sizes, comprising one to five bedrooms in size. Six of these would be affordable and one will be wheelchair accessible.

Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to access the homes to the south of the site.

It will be close by to new amenities including the neighbourhood centre, primary school sites and open green spaces.

The community centre will be funded jointly by Warfield parish council and Bracknell Forest Council, totalling £13.7 million in construction.

It will sit immediately west to the site.

An executive report prepared ahead of the planning committee on Thursday, November 7 says that the applicant has worked ‘positively’ with the council to address some concerns.

Previous issues were taken with the number of affordable homes provided by the scheme, which must be at 35 per cent according to Bracknell Forest planning rules.

Now, just over this proportion has been secured, at 38 per cent.

Warfield Parish Council have raised concerns with the current plan, arguing that the access plan would mean the loss of many trees.

The lower authority also worried that more homes would make Priory Lane a ‘rat-run’ and cause more traffic.

But no such points were raised by officers at Bracknell Forest Council, included those expertly consulted on highways and trees.

Planning officers have recommended committee members to approve the plans, and a final decision will be made on Thursday, November 7.
