Route option appraisal

Our Local Plan identified several major development locations across the borough, plus strategic transport improvements to support them. 

Policy CP21 and Appendix 7 specifically identified a new road for South Wokingham.

With about 2,500 new homes set to be provided at this location, we examined the potential route options for a link road to manage the impact of the increase in traffic.

We considered 3 possible routes - northern, central and southern - and recommended the central route. This was guided by public consultation.
