The vision for Allbrook Meadow has always been to enhance and preserve the natural landscape, environment and biodiversity of this quiet corner of of Eastleigh. Where until recently there were beautiful and uninterrupted views of the Itchen Valley and the landscape beyond, there are now wholly out of keeping steel structures, clashing horribly with the natural environment, placed in the worst possible location.
I would sincerely request that the Parish Council considers relocating the gym equipment to a more appropriate location.
The location is not suitable for the proposals.
Inadequate infrastructure.
Also aesthetically not appealing.
Existing travellers sites that currently exist would be better suited or alternative sites that do not effect existing established communities.
We’ve lived on the existing development for years and feel it’s very unfair to impose this on the residents.
Why are developers allowed or even allowed to try and rip apart our beautiful and unique countryside? It’s a disgrace..trees are so valuable, important and loved , it’s about time our environment was protected for all. I’ve seen so much destruction lately so new homes/ businesses/ roads can be developed, it is costing our wildlife and environment dearly, it has to stop else we will just be a concrete garden..and how sad that would be..good luck Michael 🤗
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!
