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.

Irving Welsh: If you are interested in the real life and challenges of a working actor, then this book is absolutely essential. Joe Millson writes in an engaging, honest but highly optimistic tone, and his passion for the craft and the life he obviously loves so much shines through those pages.
