The site is build on land of the old Bell Farm under the site name Eldridge Park. The sites comprises of 128 homes.

When appointed to carry out the detailed developer lighting design we liaised with Wokingham Borough Councils street lighting engineer to agree a specification for the works, one of our experienced lighting design engineers commenced the design work.

The on site section 38 works consisted of 5m WBC specification aluminium lighting columns with the Philips Iridium Gen 3 LED lantern and Telensa CMS remote monitoring nodes to a P5 lighting class.
