Plans to build on an unused field have been revealed after hoarding closed off the site earlier this year.
Applicants Danescroft have submitted proposals to build a 70-bed care home and 55 new homes on land north of Cain Road in Binfield.

The care home would come with a garden, parking and dedicated access off Turnpike Road, whereas the 55 new homes would be accessible via Cain Road.
Of the new homes, seven would be one-bedroom, 13 would be two-bedroom, 28 would be three-bedroom, and another seven would be four-bedroom.
Developers are hoping to make all the one-bedroom homes affordable, as well as five two-bedroom and two three-bedroom homes, a total of 25 per cent.
The care home and some of the homes at the south end of the site would be up to three-storeys high.

The site is included in Bracknell Forest Council’s site allocations plan under spaces identified for potential housebuilding, with a capacity for up to 75 homes.
Danescroft say the housing will help deliver Bracknell Forest’s requirement to build around 500 homes a year.
The developers claim the care home is needed as there is a shortfall of almost 300-bed spaces in the catchment area, according to Danescroft.
A tree survey carried out by the applicants confirmed no existing trees will be removed from the site.

A statement from the developers read: “It is contended that the development makes efficient use of an allocated site for housing in an accessible location whilst also facilitating the delivery of a much-need open market housing, affordable housing and a care home.
“It is contended that any perceived negative attributes associated with the proposal, are outweighed by the benefits arising from the same.”
Bracknell Forest Council has not received any comments from neighbours so far.
The application is currently pending consideration from the council having been validated last month.
