TRAFFIC IMPACT
Increased traffic on congested routes
Peak-time bottlenecks:- B3349 to Wokingham: Barkham Bridge and through Barkham
- Nine Mile Ride: California Cross Roads
- Arborfield Cross Roundabout
- Eversley Road
White Horse Lane & Langley Common Road
Avoid HGVs on Nine Mile Ride
Construction traffic
Arborfield bypass needs to be built before new homes
Issues
7/29/2019 JTP Presentation
20/157
MOVING ABOUT
Lack of safe off-road routes for horse-riding
Integrated cycle networks and bridleways to surrounding villages
Bus services are infrequent and not direct
School run will cause local congestion around new schools
Safe routes to school encourage walking and cycling
Off-street parking is needed for school drop-off
Issues
7/29/2019 JTP Presentation
21/157
UTILITIES & DRAINAGE
Upgrading ofsewageworks for new homes. Plans to be started now
Upgrading ofwater supply
Concern that homes will be built before upgrades complete

COMMUNITY
Create a community not a housing estate
Consider the needs of the existing community

Avoid isolation of the elderly, disabled, young mums etc.
Issues
7/29/2019 JTP Presentation
24/157
SHOPPING & BUSINESSES
Need a variety of local businesses not a cloned village/town centre
Not just food and drink outlets
Convenient supermarkets and restaurants
Consider double deckparking common in continental Europe
What kind of foodstore should be provided and would two smallerfoodstores be better than one large one?
Will retail be viable here?
Issues
7/29/2019 JTP Presentation
25/157
EMPLOYMENT
Concern over commuting towork
New jobs will be created on site in schools, shops and industrial area
Working from home needs to be accommodated
Create opportunities for entrepreneurs
Encourage new sustainable ways ofworking and living
Issues

SERVICES & COMMUNITY SAFETY
Doctors to serve the growing community

Once the military leave fears anti-social behaviourwill increase
Issues

HOMES
Appropriate provision ofaffordable housing
Starter homes and sheltered housing
Low density housing with space for car parking
Future-proofhomes

IDENTITY
Homes should not be crammed in- plenty of green space
Village greens

Is it a town or a village?
The place needs a name!
Issues
