A new 1,500-home estate on the edge of Wantage will have just 360 primary school places.
That was one of the concerns raised at the first public exhibition of plans for the Crab Hill development on Monday.
Residents are concerned that Wantage does not have enough jobs or school places for the new population, and the roads will become more congested.
London-based Lands Improvement Holdings (LIH) is promoting the site, north of Charlton, on behalf of the landowners, and promised the development will include a two-form entry primary school, and they will contribute to a secondary school.
LIH will also pay for a road around the estate, linking the A338 to the A417.
Another exhibition will be held in Grove Methodist Church tomorrow from 5pm to 9pm.
