Have your say
We want to hear what you think about our draft Bracknell Town Centre Masterplans Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
We are running a public consultation from Monday 8 April until Monday 20 May. You can find details below.
Background
Following adoption of the new Bracknell Forest Local Plan, we are consulting on planning design guidance for some key sites. The guidance will influence the type of development delivered in several important locations on the edge of Bracknell town centre that are identified for mixed-use redevelopment.
The Masterplans SPD will provide land use and design guidance for these 3 sites:
- the Southern Gateway (the bus station and some neighbouring plots)
- the Eastern Gateway (the area around the former council offices at Easthampstead House)
- the High Street multi-storey car park
Once adopted, the SPD will be an important consideration in deciding planning applications on these sites.
