A developer has received planning permission to build 73 new homes in a Wokingham village.
National planning consultancy Boyer secured reserved matters approval from Wokingham Borough Council to develop a two hectare site at Arborfield Green on behalf of Crest Nicholson Chiltern.
The site, known as Parcel V2N, is part of Arborfield’s strategic development location (SDL) and sits on former Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) land.
Lucy Anderson, principal planner in Boyer’s Wokingham office, said: “We are pleased to have assisted Crest Nicholson and the project team in reaching this positive outcome which will support the continued delivery of critical residential development on this important strategic site for Wokingham Borough.”
New properties will include one bedroom apartments to five-bedroom houses, as well as 15 affordable homes as per the S106 Agreement for the development.
When complete, Arborfield Green will provide a new sustainable garden village, with 2,000 new homes, a district centre, a neighbourhood centre, a primary and secondary school, community and sporting facilities, public open space, and other associated infrastructure.
In achieving planning success, Boyer worked alongside Pegasus (architects), i-transport (highways), AECOM (drainage, ecology and engineering), SJA Trees (trees) and Murdoch Wickham (landscape).
The company is part of Leaders Romans Group.
