Green Park Village is a housing development in Green Park, Reading, Berkshire. It is close to the Reading Green Park railway station and Green Park business park. The initial phases are now complete and occupied, and when fully complete the new suburb is expected to contain more than 1,300 new homes, including both apartments and "New-England" style houses. The development will surround South Lake, with a noticeably higher density on the west (railway station) side as compared to the earlier eastern side.[1]
Facilities in the village include a school, Green Park Village Primary Academy, and a lake side café, Triple Two Coffee, at the south end of South Lake. Immediately adjacent to the station is the residents club and a Tesco Express supermarket.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Green Park Village lies entirely within the borough of Reading, within Whitley ward. It is within the Reading West parliamentary constituency.[5]
The plan for the village put forward in 2010 included 737 homes, a railway station to serve the village and surrounding areas, and a primary school. Subsequent plans have almost doubled the number of homes to be built.[1] [6] [7]
The development was opened to potential purchasers from April 2016, the primary school opened in September 2020, and the railway station in May 2023.[8] [9] [10]
