Client: Hatch Farm Land Limited - landowner of Hatch Farm.
Hatch Farm, first acquired by Hatch Farm Land Ltd in 2017 under the direction of Craig Killoran of Beaulieu Land, began life as a standalone development proposal. In 2021, the site was brought into a wider strategic housing vision by Wokingham Borough Council, alongside Hall Farm, owned by the University of Reading, Newlands Farm promoted by Gleeson Land, and several other centrally important landholdings. Together, these sites form the foundations of the emerging Wokingham allocation known as the ‘Loddon Valley Garden Village’ – Hatch Farm forms the north-eastern gateway to this new landscape-led Garden Village for the future.
TWP, working for Hatch Farm Land Ltd, has provided end to end project leadership in an all aspects of the sites planning & application promotion, technical and financial analysis, and agreement of key infrastructure delivery and collaborative working partnerships will other noted landowners and the Local Authority.
Partnership Context
Acting on behalf of Hatch Farm Land Limited, we work in collaboration with:
- The University of Reading, landowner of neighbouring Hall Farm
- Gleeson Land, promoting adjacent land at Newlands Farm
- Three additional centrally important private landowners, forming a strategic landownership bloc
Together, this consortium represents the majority of land across the proposed Loddon Valley Garden Village footprint.
Project Overview
Loddon Valley Garden Village is a large-scale, sustainable community proposed south of the M4 motorway in Wokingham Borough, encompassing the areas between Shinfield, Arborfield, and Sindlesham.
This transformational proposal seeks to deliver:
- Up to 3,930 new homes, with 40% affordable housing
- A 200-hectare public country park, the largest in the borough
- Employment land, including the expansion of Thames Valley Science Park
- Three neighbourhood centres providing local retail, healthcare and community facilities
- Two primary schools and a secondary school
- Specialist housing, including for later living and key workers
- Major infrastructure upgrades, including new road links and enhanced active/public transport
Our Role
Appointed by Hatch Farm Land Limited as lead strategic and delivery advisor, our remit extends across the full life cycle of the promotion, from early-stage coordination to hands-on execution.
Key responsibilities include:
Challenges Tackled
Deliverable Outcomes
- Unified and coordinated promotion strategy covering over 500 hectares of land
- Public consultation launched in July 2023, generating significant stakeholder engagement
- Ongoing detailed design and technical workstreams in motion — including transport, landscape, ecology and masterplanning
- A credible, deliverable vision now clearly articulated — and well-positioned in Wokingham’s evolving planning context
Why It Matters
This project demonstrates our strength in turning complex, multi-landowner sites into credible, policy-ready strategic developments. We bring structure where there’s fragmentation, and forward momentum where there’s risk of inertia.
Loddon Valley Garden Village has the potential to deliver transformational benefits for the borough and beyond — socially, economically and environmentally. We are proud to be helping turn that vision into a practical and deliverable reality.
