URGENT NEWS:
FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2020
URGENT
ADDITIONAL DRAWINGS/AMENDED PLANS SUBMITTED
TO WEST BERKSHIRE COUNCIL FOR PINCENTS HILL DEVELOPMENT
Ref: 19/00113/OUTMAJ.
All responses to be received by 7th February 2010
The new documents can be found on the West Berks website:Dear Residents and hopefully people who do not wish to see any development on Pincents Hill by the developers TOWN
The developers have amended their plans and have targeted places like Sulham residents to write in and support the 265 homes plan in our area Over 200 letters of support for the development have been received, we really need to rebut these and increase our number of letters of refusal, even if you have already written in.
There is meant to be a statutory period of 21 days from the date of notification to residents which has not been observed, although West Berks have been notified of this. Unfortunately at this moment in time we only have one week (7th February) to bolster our number of objections, although an extension has been requested and may/or may not be forthcoming.
Basically, the amended plans show the layout of the proposed building site and the access to it. It is intended that a single lane access with pavements will be the only vehicular access from the Sainsbury’s end with access from the metal gates in Pincents Lane
The plans also show the topography of the site with the intended levels and the height (one, two or three storeys) of the proposed buildings.
The group’s main concerns are firstly the traffic flow from Sainsbury’s roundabout especially with construction vehicles. A question has been asked of West Berks (so far unanswered) - what is the anticipated access for constructions vehicles and it can only be one of two ways. Firstly adding to the confusion of the Sainsbury’s traffic, or secondly up Langley Hill, into City Road Pincents Lane
Secondly even West Berks Landscape report says that there are areas of the development even after ten years growth of trees that will not be hidden and will still be clearly visible.
Thirdly, a loss of character and sense of place which will totally change the atmosphere to not only Tilehurst and Calcot, but Holybrook and the surrounding area. It is a much valued and loved natural open space with many different habitats which makes it a unique gem in both its landscape and irreplaceable soul of the community.
Fourthly, questions asked of TOWN from West Berks have not been answered and various organisations like the Police, Thames Water, and departments at West Berks are unhappy with various aspects of the proposed plan and do not recommend it, in its present from.
Fifthly, infrastructure concerns such as the provision of school places, GPs and suitable access to the site.
We have set out below the heading for reply for both e-mail and post and would be grateful for your help, if you can perhaps let others know in order to reach as many people as possible to show West Berks how much us residents value our hill we need objections to the alterations.
Please, we need your help to save Pincents Hill/ Thank you.

New development of 285 homes for Pincents Hill
keep up to date on any news on the
News and Updates page
Pincents Hill is a green oasis of calm in an ever increasing sprawl of urbanisation.
Separating the villages of Theale, Calcot and Tilehurst to the west of Reading, it is the last remaining area of unspoiled countryside that is easily accessible that supports many species of wildlife and flora.
This site is dedicated to ensuring Pincents Hill remains as nature intended, and is not developed or built on. You can support this vision by visiting our News and Updates page.
Thank you for visiting and please help save Pincents Hill
