South Wokingham Strategic
Development Location Extension
Lightwood Strategic | Nicholas King Homes
Welcome | Introduction & planning context
Led by Wokingham Borough Council’s process to establish a new Local Plan for the period 2026-2040, Lightwood Strategic and Nicholas King Homes are working together to establish a coordinated masterplanning approach for south east of Wokingham. This area was identified for development in the Council’s draft Local Plan (2021).
In 2021 the Council published a concept plan for this area (for 835 homes). Prompted by this we have undertaken a series of surveys to inform more detailed masterplanning. We are now seeking your views and feedback on our plans. In doing so we recognise that the Council has yet to take a final in-principle decision on this land in its Local Plan. The site will be delivered by the two promoters;
1. Land to the west of Old Wokingham Road (Prior’s Farm), promoted by Lightwood Strategic, and
2. Land to the east of Easthampstead Road (Pearce’s Farm), promoted by Nicolas King Homes.
Lightwood Strategic
Lightwood Strategic is a land promoter operating in the south of England. Working with our landowners, designers and technical team, Lightwood present potential development land and masterplanning options to local authorities when Local Pans are being reviewed. If the land is to be allocated for development, we then submit an outline planning application. Once approved the land is sold to a house builder and it proceeds with the more detailed phases of design, planning and delivery, led by the parameters that we and the local authority have put in place.
