An application for planning has been submitted for three large houses and diversion of the footpath:
1. Diversion of the Public Footpath
2. Build of 3 large 5 bedroom properties in the garden of Biggam House. To view in detail go to Cherwell District Planning Application. Deadline for comments is 7 May. This is a haven for wildlife running parallel to the old railway line adjacent to Lucy Plackett Playing Field with the only access gained via Tanners Lane.
Outline planning permission for up to 55 dwellings with associated landscaping, open space and vehicular access off Berry Hill Road was refused on 25 May. Visit Cherwell Planning to see Reasons for Refusal.
The Chancellor has backed the National Infrastructure Commission’s concept of an Oxford to Cambridge ‘Growth Corridor’ of a million new houses, of which 300,000 would be in Oxfordshire. That would be equivalent to six new cities the size of Oxford; or to put it another way would more than double our present housing stock and population by 2050.
Part of the growth scheme is a new Expressway – a Motorway in all but name – from Oxford to Cambridge to “facilitate” the development.
At the moment this transformative change is being proposed without any public consultation.
Alteration to existing access and erection of nine dwellings; new public footpath access to proposed adjacent sports fields has been refused. Click here to see information.
A small scale development of four two-bedroomed terraced houses in Round Close Road on the brown field site of the former St Georges Chapel has been resubmitted.
