Search the Public Notice PortalDozens of new affordable homes are set to be built as part of a major investment in housing across the region.
The homes are being delivered by Abri, a housing association with a pipeline of up to 470 affordable properties planned for Bracknell and neighbouring areas.
Of these, the potential is for 223 homes for social rent, 168 for affordable rent, and 79 for shared ownership, representing an investment of more than £139 million.
Peter Swallow, MP for Bracknell, welcomed the plans.
He said: "There is a real and urgent need for more affordable homes in Bracknell Forest.
"I am grateful to everyone involved for their commitment to delivering these new homes for our community.
"Developments providing affordable homes like this are vital in addressing the housing crisis and ensuring that local families have access to safe, high-quality, and affordable places to live."
The MP recently visited two Abri sites in Bracknell, Barn Close and Bay House, to see progress first-hand.
Construction is underway at Barn Close on 24 apartments and a chalet bungalow, offering a mix of one and two-bedroom homes.
These are expected to be ready for occupation from January 2027.
Demolition is currently taking place at nearby Bay House, where 32 one and two-bedroom flats will be built, with completion expected by February 2028.
The homes are being delivered by Abri’s in-house construction team, with funding support from Homes England and Bracknell Forest Council.
Dasos Christou, regional managing director (South East) at Abri, said: "At Abri, we’re committed to tackling the urgent need for affordable housing in Bracknell and beyond.
"Regenerating sites like Barn Close and Bay House are a key part of our mission to provide high-quality homes for local people."
Abri has several developments in the pipeline to support housing needs in the area.
At Merryhill Road, 11 new homes are planned, including six two-bedroom houses and five three-bedroom houses, one of which will be fully wheelchair-accessible.
A separate scheme at Shepherds Lane includes four two-bedroom houses, three three-bedroom houses, and a fully wheelchair-accessible two-bedroom bungalow.
Mr Christou said: "With our commitment to build over 10,000 homes by 2030, we’re determined to keep making a positive difference for communities across the region.
"This work also supports the government’s pledge to deliver 1.5 million new homes, and we’re proud to play our part in helping more people access good quality, sustainable homes."
