Charlbury 2043 Draft Plan

Sat 1 Aug, 20:00

It is disappointing Christine. 

The residents of Hundley Way had a meeting last year when the owner of the land sold it to a local resident who wanted to a build a few "eco-homes" on the land. Given that the Lagan Homes has the option on the field, they are wanting to build more than a few homes. Liz Leffman attended along with the new owner and neighbours of the field. Liz said that given where the field is located, it was unlikely any development would take place.

Obviously, her LD colleague Andy Graham has other ideas.

I'm not against development in Charlbury; there drastically needs to be more affordable homes and social housing, but the field by Jefferson's Piece is ridiculous place to put a development. Not only for the current residents and wildflife but future residents.

I have today received by email a message from West Oxfordshire District Council giving a link to their agreed draft plan for our area (up to the year 2043).

This still includes (to my dismay) plans to build 30 houses at Jefferson's Piece. 

Plans for 40 houses south of Hydac in Charlbury are also included, but it's the inclusion of the Jefferson Piece housing that I find particularly upsetting. There were so many recent and powerful objections to the plan that I thought it had been ruled out.
