Like some around this village we only moved here in September. The idea was to move into a calmer, quieter village (having moved here from a suburb of Reading which was constantly chaotic and full of traffic). Only once we arrived we found out that the whole nature of the "village" was due to change, we had seen in our documents that a new development was being proposed but hadn't realised how big and how definite it was. Having looked through your policies I agree that it reads like a lovely place and a great development. However, the very nature of Tangmere will change, it will no longer be a village and the close community that I have already been able to see will be lost. The large amount of green space will almost entirely disappear, I know that the policy includes some green space but it will not be the rural countryside green space. It will be planned and unimaginative as most planned green spaces are. I am involved in the world of mental health and I can guarantee that mental health of some of the community will struggle with the nature of change represented by this policy. The houses themselves pose a problem as the living space does not allow for any actual space, as a council you should be stating a minimum requirement for space in order to encourage greater well-being. The idea that you can spend £500,000 on a new 4 bed house and not be able to comfortably fit a set of drawers with the bed into each room is just crazy.
There are so many comments I could make from the idea that parking will be awful as new developments adopt a policy of not having enough parking spaces in an effort to encourage people to use cars without finding the reality of where and how the people work (night shifts and no bus home or on a different site every day in the middle of nowhere) to how a potential 3000 extra cars are going to be around the "village" without creating traffic chaos. (please do see Earley outside of Reading for what it may look like, not too dissimilar)
