Tangmere

6.92, line 5 (in printed doc.) replace "planned" with "masterplanned". To make clear that the whole site and allocation will be masterplanned as a whole i.a.w. Policy S32.1. Note term "masterplanned" included in other AL Policies.
Line 7 (in printed doc.) add "education" to list of benefits and after "improved" insert "sustainable and".

Greater prominence (propose additional/separate paragraph) required in text of role of Tangmere Neighbourhood Plan's (TNP) Vision, Objectives and Policies in developing the site's Concept and Masterplan, given it is part of the Local Development Plan.

Paras 6.92 and 6.95 first bullet. Note comments on para 4.85 regarding Primary education facilities. Given size of revised housing allocation, TNP's One Village vision and aim for one primary school to serve whole village (envisaged to be about 2700 dwellings by 2035), provision for a 2FE expandable to 3FE primary school should be considered for incorporation within this site.

Para 6.95 opening sentence. Insert "master" before "planning".

Para 6.95 7th bullet. Given TNP provisions for enabling the expansion of the Museum, propose delete "or relocation".

Given this large site is only just (0.1km) outside of the Chichester Harbour SPA mitigation zone of influence and that it lies on the same side of Chichester as the allocations at AL2, AL3 and AL4 (therefore with minimal difference in travel times), it would appear that enhancement of its open space requirements could assist in minimising recreational pressure on both Chichester and Pagham Harbour SPAs and the National Park and help mitigate associated off site vehicle movements. This precautionary approach and supporting reason for enhanced open space within this site should be considered for inclusion in the supporting text and supports proposed amends to Policy AL14. Note DM30 references to residential schemes outside of the zone of influence in both Chichester and Pagham Harbour sections of that Policy.

Note should also be taken of the minimal proportion of second and holiday homes in Tangmere's overall housing stock compared with other localities in the Plan Area when assessing population increases arising from new development and associated infrastructure requirements.

Recommend bullet points in para 6.95 be numbered for ease of reference.

Tangmere Parish Council wishes to submit a replacement Policy AL14 and associated supporting paragraphs

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)
