The site lies on the south side of London Road on the southwestern edge of the village of Binfield, Berkshire, as shown edged red on the Site Boundary Plan in the Particulars of Sale.
Binfield village centre lies approximately 1.5 miles to the northeast whilst the towns of Wokingham and Bracknell lie approximately 2 miles to the west and 2 miles to the east respectively.
Wokingham train station lies approximately 2.5 miles to the west which provides direct train services to Reading and London Waterloo, whilst Bracknell train station lies approximately 2.5 miles to the east.
The site lies to the south of the B3408 London Road and close to its junction with the A329(M) Motorway.
The site provides a relatively level, triangular shaped parcel of undeveloped land of approximately 0.31 hectares (0.77 acres).
The site is currently grassed and contained by fences, hedges and mature trees on its boundaries.
The site is bordered by vegetation at its northern and eastern boundaries, London Road (cul-de-sac) at its southern boundary, and a telecoms mast compound at its western boundary.
The Site Boundary Plan in the Particulars of Sale shows the boundaries of the site edged red.
The site is freehold. Full vacant possession of the site will be given on completion of the sale.
We understand that mains gas, electricity, drainage, water and broadband services are available for connection in the vicinity of the site. However, prospective purchasers are advised to make their own independent enquiries with the individual authorities to verify the capacity and availability of such services.
The site was granted outline planning permission on 29th May 2025 for “Outline planning for the erection of up to 10 dwellings, landscaping and associated infrastructure (means of access to be determined, all other matters reserved)” (application reference no. 23/00762/OUT).
An indicative dwelling mix has been proposed for the site which could deliver a mix of house types, sizes and tenures.
This mix has been proposed in response to local market analysis, with the final housing mix to be agreed with the Council as part of the detailed layout stages of reserved matters.
The indicative mix for the site is suggested as follows:
- 2 bed – up to 3 dwellings - 30%
- 3 bed – up to 5 dwellings - 50%
- 4 bed – up to 2 dwellings - 20%
If the development goes ahead for 10 dwellings as proposed, the proposals will include 3 affordable housing units of mixed sizes and tenures, and a financial contribution of £81,170. If the development were to be revised to less than 10 dwellings it is our understanding that the affordable housing requirement will fall away.
The Illustrative Masterplan in the Particulars of Sale shows how the indicative mix could be accommodated on the
site.
Vehicular access to the site will be from the London Road cul-de-sac to the south.
The various surveys, reports and drawings which supported the planning application are contained in the site’s Information Pack and can be assigned to the purchaser upon completion of the sale.
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charge, S106 costs and obligations for the development will become the responsibility of the purchaser on completion of the sale.
A summary of the S106 costs is contained in the site’s information pack.
It should be noted that the vendor has already paid the Council’s SANG and SAMM contributions, their respective monitoring fees and legal costs.
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 site from sale or to vary the method of sale at any time without notice.
Written offers for the site are invited by 12 Noon on Tuesday 15th July 2025.
