Proposals | Coopers Hill

Our Proposals

Over the next 10 to 15 years, Bracknell will realise its potential as a strong & sustainable town centre. serving a prosperous and dynamic area. It will draw on its Twentieth Century ‘New Town’ character and blend this with its deeper legacy as a historic town, capturing the benefits of both worlds.

Our vision is to deliver high quality development that supports a thriving, 18-hour town centre and catalyses further regeneration in the area. It must serve the needs of all residents and businesses, including new affordable homes and community facilities, fostering a sense of local ownership.

Bracknell will build on its role as an important hub for tech industries by addressing the needs of a young, smart workforce. Whilst open spaces and trees will connect the town centre with the landscapes and countryside that surround it.

New Homes

Development at Coopers Hill will create contemporary, sustainable housing in a green setting. Our plans are to replace the existing buildings with 52 new homes aimed at a real mix of young people, older people and families.

Quality Architecture

New homes will be built in brick in keeping with the local context and no more than three storeys in height to respect our neighbours and keep with the character of the local area.

Sustainable Transport

The site is a short walk from Bracknell train and bus stations and the town centre. We will encourage walking and cycling over car use as the site lies on one of the main cycle routes in Bracknell. All homes will have parking provision on site.

Respectful Neighbour

We designed the development to respect our neighbours’ light and privacy by keeping all the homes low-rise and using new and existing trees for screening. We will work closely with our neighbours on how we manage construction. Whilst some disruption cannot be avoided we will work to keep this to a minimum.

New Facilities

Bracknell Forest Council is building a new youth and community facility in the town centre, which has been designed in consultation with young people. The Council is working closely with all the groups that used Coopers Hill on their options for the future.

Considered Landscaping

We will create new play spaces, whilst new planting and public landscaping will create a pleasant environment which promotes wellbeing and sustainability.
