By GlobalDataAccording to the council, the new developments will complement The Lexicon, which formed the first phases of the regeneration of the town.
Councillor Marc Brunel-Walker, Bracknell Forest Council’s regeneration chief, said: “As part of the process we spent a lot of time discussing Bracknell Forest’s aims with all considered developers and Countryside’s commitment and focus on the whole community stood out at every stage.
“Therefore, we’re delighted to welcome Countryside on our regeneration journey with us as they have a history of supporting quality regeneration and strong partnership working, which best fits our aspirations for the three key sites.”
Timelines for the work are yet to be revealed and the legal documents will be signed this year. Plans are likely to be submitted in early 2021.
