I have lived on this estate for nearly 20 years, and it is a beautiful place to live, with a very calming atmosphere. The estate has a lot of elderly residents, most have lived here their whole lives.The proposed new build will completely change the whole feel of the estate, and make it feel much more enclosed and claustrophobic and will not fit in the the existing estate. Issues with drainage flooding, increased traffic and a lack of green open space will have a huge impact on our community.

I have lived in Tilehurst for over 70 years and my and I often enjoy walking down Pincents Hill, over the M4 footbridge into Theale for lunch in The Bull and then catch the No.1 Black bus to City Road and home. This lovely country walk would be ruined by 138 homes planted there with no doubt the lane widened to deal with two way traffic. The lives of the residents of the lovely old cottages in the lane would also be ruined, wildlife decimated, already heavy traffic with even more pollution increased with probable queues on the slipway both East and West from the nearby M4 junction. Also nothing mentioned about utilities like a doctors surgery, medical hub, school(s) etc, plus Little Heath Road and City Road becoming rat runs. No to development now and never.

My husband and I love this little oasis of wild beauty on our doorstep. When one, or both, of us are struggling with stress and mental health, we'll nip out for a walk among the tall grass, deer and butterflies. It's a breath of fresh air for us and many others in Calcot/Tilehurst, and a home to so much wildlife. We also agree with all the points raised in this petition about it not being a viable site for development due to local infrastructure, etc. Keep Pincents Hill wild!

There has been no increase in the infrastructure of Theale for the huge housing estates already being built in Theale, it takes a month to even obtain a doctors appointment at the monent, I'm not sure what will happen with the current houses being built let alone any more.

This land is not suitable for 138 houses, plans to build on Pincents have been rejected so many times and the number of homes reduced it makes no difference how many the infrastructure is not suitable for more cars. The congestion around Ikea, Sainsbury’s and the motorway junction is out of control at the best of times. This also affects the wildlife on the hill of which there is plenty. This is not the appropriate area to build on so close to where houses have already been built on the other side of the A4 at the junction.

Pincents Hill is home to very many species of fauna & flora - it’s their home! It also has many trees with TPO’s on the proposed site, & it is a much valued local green space. Planning applications for Pincents Hill have consistently been rejected by WBC, for very valid reasons, all those reasons are still there. A change in policy by the Labour government doesn’t make those valid reasons for refusal disappear!

I live near to this proposed facility. There is already another facility within 3 miles of the proposed location which isn’t at capacity. The local waste plan indicates that there is no requirement for this facility. The road infrastructure in the area cannot take the extra traffic, there are constant queues on the main roads and the HGVs often use smaller roads/lanes trying to avoid traffic, causing even more chaos. Local children have to walk on narrow pavements along the main A444 to get to school. The extra lorries will make these journey’s even more dangerous. Then there is the pollution, smells and health risks associated with the incinerator facilities. Our children deserve a healthier life. Also the threat to wildlife is unacceptable and lady but no means least, no matter how they think they can disguise facility, the location and height of it will be seen for miles.
Julie supported: Save the National Forest Landscape from a 60metre incinerator
The A444 is absolutely jammed with HGV's already, please no more. Air pollution, sound pollution and light pollution, please no. There is an incinerator literally 4 miles away. Please decline this appeal. Residents should come 1st in this instance.

As a Norfolk local born and bred, I’m deeply concerned about what’s happening at Tamar Nurseries and the Fountain Group croonies - Anglia Construction Ltd OSCUDE LIMITED isn’t just about one planning application—it’s about protecting rurla and Fenland countryside, our flooding risks, and the honesty we expect in local decision-making. That 100-year-old willow was part of our landscape. Veteran trees like this can’t be replaced overnight, and the shady way it was chopped down (now a police matter!) shows why we need tougher enforcement. Flooding fears are real. Water storage dug in without water checks—right in Flood Zone 3—risks making flooding worse for all of us. The IDB and EA seem to be passing the buck, and that’s not good enough. No More "Wink & Nod" Planning Four years of false claims (“no trees,” “0m² buildings”) prove this developer can’t be trusted. If the Council won’t act, the Secretary of State must step in. We deserve better - A full call-in of this application Proper replanting of lost trees (20-to-1, not just a slap on the wrist) A public inquiry into how this was allowed to happen
Margaret supported: Stop Developer-Led Abuse: From Highgate to the Fens
They cut down a 100-year-old tree — to make room for access for an illegal development. This wasn’t pruning. It was destruction. They said no trees were there. They lied. They said no building had started. They lied. Now they want permission after the damage is done. This is planning fraud, and it’s happening in plain sight.
