Binfield Learning Village, Bracknell
Client:
Mace Group Limited (on behalf of Bracknell Forest Council)
Robert West were appointed by Mace in May 2015 to advise on transport and highways matters related to the development of a new ‘All Through’ School.
The Learning Village will be an ‘all through’ School for pupils aged 3 – 19 years, and will provide 26 FTE nursery places, 420 primary School places, 1,050 secondary School places, 315 Sixth Form Places and 40 integrated SEN places. The site was formerly part of the Blue Mountain Golf Course, which was allocated for new development, including the School, in the Bracknell Forest Local Plan. The Learning Village was brought forward as part of a hybrid planning application for the redevelopment of the Golf Course site, and the development was subject to Environmental Impact Assessment. Robert West provided assistance with master planning design of the Learning Village car parks and access and movement strategy. A Transport Statement was prepared to justify parking numbers in line with projected demand. Preliminary designs for highway works were prepared by Robert West for infrastructure upgrades including remodeling of the Temple Way/ Wood Lane junction, widening of Wood Lane highway, a new footway/ cycleway on Wood Lane north and a new Toucan crossing on Temple Way.
