The new residential and mixed use JSA designed masterplan at Priors Farm, which forms part of the Wokingham SDL Extension, has been submitted for outline planning permission, summer 2024. The new settlement consists of the main centre providing mixed and community uses as well as a series of local neighbourhoods each with its own focal point and generous green open space including a park, SANG and incorporating existing watercourse into a riverine corridor and Suds provision.

It has been designed to be well connected, with a bus route, providing sustainable transport and fitting into a wider network of active travel routes, encouraging all modes of transport and linking to neighbouring developments. It has been designed to be a walkable community encouraging active travel in an environment that will contribute to their wellbeing and enjoyment of life. It provides the infrastructure for people of all ages so that a new community can develop and thrive. A detailed code has been developed to define all public spaces, landmarks and the architecture of the houses reflecting the character of old Wokingham which has a very specific form derived from the silk trade which was very prominent in the area.

The code also builds in the variety in a pattern mimicking that of a traditional town that has grown incrementally. This makes it feel a natural part of the locality which conforms with the National Model Design Code and the criteria set out by the Government Office for Place. In addition to this, an allocation of houses capable of accommodating the growing requirement for people to work from home will make for a more lively and active place. This will provide the main square for the community which is easily accessible where everyone is no more than a ten minutes’ walk away from the main market square. Buildings are arranged along a network of streets, lanes and squares in the traditional manner to create a pleasant and varied environment with a legible hierarchy for people to walk and find their way around. There are avenues and green open spaces and the masterplan takes advantage of being on the edge of Wokingham to incorporate a park and draw in the countryside.
