Coopers Hill, Bracknell

Coopers Hill is the first completed scheme in the Bracknell Forest Cambium Partnership, a £131 million joint venture between Bracknell Forest Council and Countryside Partnerships, part of the Vistry Group. 

Located next to Bracknell Station and within walking distance of The Lexicon retail and leisure centre, the site has been transformed from a former brownfield plot into an inclusive new community. The development delivers 52 new homes, with a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments and houses, alongside landscaped green space. It forms part of the council’s wider Bracknell Town Centre Vision 2032 regeneration strategy.

As part of the scheme, urbanspec were delighted to work with HAP Architects, who specified our P-Series bin stores across Phases 1 and 2. These units provide secure, accessible waste and recycling facilities for residents, combining functionality with an appearance that complements the contemporary architecture of the development.

Each store features ForestPanel softwood slat cladding and a robust hot-dip galvanised steel frame, with sedum green roofs to enhance biodiversity and soften visual impact. Access is controlled via a latch and Eurocylinder lock and solid loading doors without apertures ensure maximum containment and security.

In total, the installation included 22 bin stores, configured to accommodate two or three 140–240L wheeled bins per unit. Now completed, looking up and down Coopers Hill gives a real sense of how waste and recycling could look, when prioritised during the design phase of a project. Smart, practical and built to serve real resident needs, the units enhance this beautiful new development and integrate seamlessly within the high-quality residential environment. 

urbanspec are proud to support all effective waste management, contributing to the sustainability goals of major regeneration programmes.
