Route option appraisal

The 2010 Wokingham Borough Council Local Plan (Core Strategy) identified a number of major development locations across the Borough. A number of strategic transport improvements were highlighted in the Local Plan (Core Strategy). Policy CP21 and Appendix 7 specifically identified a relief road for South Wokingham.

We examined the potential route options of a link road to manage the impact of the increase in traffic, due to the new houses in South Wokingham. We considered 3 possible routes - northern, central and southern - and recommended the central route.
