In addition to what you have put in, better car parking as increased housing numbers will make this even more important. As I understand it the Council owns the Arden Academy site, so should make provision for new 3 storey 200 car park (basement/ground/first floor) in the corner nearest to the village centre, with access from Milverton Road and Station Road, and consider a free-flowing one-way system to alleviate congestion, plus lights control of the 3 pedestrian crossings in the High Street, which cause much of the problem. Further community facilities suggested are swimming pool and arts centre.
