A history of Sandleford - how did we get here?

Plans for a major development at Sandleford Park have been in the pipeline for more than a decade.

The site, which stars in Richard Adams’ classic novel Watership Down, sits between Wash Common, Monks Lane and the A339.

West Berkshire Council adopted Sandleford Park as a Strategic Site Allocation for up to 2,000 homes with associated infrastructure in its core strategy in 2012 following consultations, with the Liberal Democrats accusing the process of being “rigged”.
