WHAT would “the single largest development in West Berkshire’s living memory” - 2,500 homes in north east Thatcham - provide for the town?
Masterplanning documents drawn up by David Lock Associates and Stantec outline infrastructure from developing the homes.
The documents are not a planning application and do not represent a final design should the development go ahead.
Education
The report outlines two primary schools, one three-form entry and the other two-form, and an eight-form secondary school.
The documents do not propose the developers pay for the full cost of the secondary school.
