Action groups join forces to protest against Council housing plans

The Northern Arc Action Group (NAAG) is urging Bracknell Forest Council to keep to a legal agreement which states the Blue Mountain Golf Course in Wood Lane must remain a golf course or recreational facility.

They say it is an important gap between Bracknell and Binfield and want the council to honour the initial agreement by removing it from the Site Allocations Development Plan Document (SADPD).

NAAG and the Crowthorne Village Action Group (CVAG) have both sent detailed responses to Bracknell Forest Council’s consultation on its SADPD.

Both groups say the council’s proposal to have 10,780 houses built in Bracknell by 2026 is based on out-of-date information and breaks several of the council’s own policies.

The two groups have been working together to go through more than 2,000 pages to submit their responses.

Key development sites in the plan include the golf course in Binfield, 400 homes at Amen Corner in Binfield, 2,200 homes on land near Cabbage Hill in Warfield, 400 homes at Broadmoor Hospital in Crowthorne and 1,000 homes on the old TRL site in Lower Wokingham Road, Crowthorne.
