The site provides approximately 1.6 hectares (4.0 acres) of grassed land as shown shaded red on the attached Parcel Plan and marked Parcel 2.
A public bridleway, called Hedge Lane, runs east-west along the southernly boundary of the site, connecting Old Priory Lane and Maize Lane.
The site is bordered by a new residential development which is currently being constructed by Taylor Wimpey Plc at its eastern and southern boundaries and existing residential development at its western and northern boundaries.
The property will be sold freehold with full vacant possession given on completion.
Bracknell Forest Council planning committee resolved on 12th November 2020 to grant planning permission for up to 305 residential dwellings (C3 use), a primary school (up to two forms of entry), public open space, landscaping, surface water drainage and associated engineering works. All matters are reserved except means of access with Maize Lane and Harvest Ride. The planning permission reference is 20/00214/OUT.
The subject site forms part of planning permission reference 20/00214/OUT and has capacity for up to 29 residential dwellings. 25% of those dwellings are to be provided for affordable housing.
The vendor has entered into an Infrastructure Collaboration Agreement with the joint applicants. The joint applicants are the adjoining landowners, whose land collectively makes up the application site granted planning permission under reference 20/00214/OUT. The Agreement sets out the principles of how key site infrastructure will be delivered; protocol for reserved matters applications; implementation of planning permission; payment of Section 106 contributions; and key points of interconnectivity of parcels.
The Section 106 Agreement applies to the wider application site and is therefore also binding to the joint applicants.
The Section 106 Agreement has been structured to enable the joint applicants to bring forward their parcels independently. The objective of this is to ensure that the subject site and other parcels can be delivered independently and in isolation, if required.
Schedule 6 of the Section 106 Agreement includes several site-wide obligations and financial contributions which are binding to all the joint applicants. These obligations and financial contributions are minimal and are addressed in the Infrastructure Collaboration Agreement.
Each parcel is subject to individual obligations and financial contributions, which must be addressed in accordance with the schedules outlined in the Section 106 Agreement. The Section 106 Agreement sets out the obligations and financial contributions which the subject site is bound to.
The access roads and utility services connections to the subject site will be delivered by the developer of the adjoining land, Taylor Wimpey Plc, at no cost to the owner of the subject site.
The site’s freehold interest is offered for sale by way of informal, non-binding tender, with the vendor reserving the right not to accept the highest or any offer and, also reserving the right to withdraw the property from sale or to vary the method of sale at any time without notice.
Written offers for the site’s freehold interest are invited by 12 noon Wednesday 15th November 2023
