1. A large proportion of Secondary School Children in Thatcham already have to travel to Newbury for their education. This development close to Kennet School, will push even more of Thatcham's Children out of the Kennet Catchment Area. There are no spare Secondary School Places !

2. If you use either of Thatcham's Doctors Surgeries you will know how difficult it is to get an appointment already without the addition of 500 extra houses ! Building a 'Community Building' does not guarantee a new Surgery.

3. The plans are deceptive - there is no data on the number of properties in one block, giving the illusion it is spacious.

4. There is no parking at Thatcham Railway Station for additional commuters.

5. Environmental concerns - flooding, use of green space when brownfield is available.
