An extensive plan of 200 houses has been submitted for land at Bridge Farm in Twyford.
The project would see homes built around the existing Orchard House, which was built to replace Bridge Farm and will be retained.
Meanwhile, six important farm buildings would be demolished and houses built on the farmland itself.
The site is bounded by the Loddon River to the west.

Developers Croudace Homes are seeking approval of the outline of the plan, with all matters reserved except for access to the site, which will take the form of a roundabout from New Bath Road.
The rest of the details will be submitted to the board at a later date, if Croudace Homes receives approval of the plan.
The council’s public consultation on the plan will run until September 16. You can see more photos of the plan in the gallery above.

The developers asked to demolish the buildings at Winkfield Manor and replace them with 18 houses.
The houses of the manor are currently deserted. The mansion was damaged by fire in April last year, with Thames Valley police suspecting arson.
The adjoining cottages on the land were also deemed uninhabitable, but there is also a modern apartment building on the site.

The proposals involve the construction of a replacement mansion, a caretaker’s house, two “stable blocks” of houses and a “new barn”.
In total, there will be 15 three-bedroom houses, two two-bedroom houses and the four-bedroom mansion.

The historic Rose Inn pub in Wokingham is gearing up to open and as such designs of what it will look like have been submitted.
Unsurprisingly, the pub entrance will be painted pink red, with cafe gates announcing the pub’s secret garden, private events space, and all-day dining offerings.
The pub is about to open in early October.
The Oakman Inns owners have submitted detailed plans for The Rose, as it is a Grade II listed building.
It served as Café Rouge until the restaurant chain pulled out of town in 2018.
