This note – updated on 9 January 2015 – covers the village survey that people filled in during October and November, our landscape appraisal, and the latest news about the proposed development to the west of Woodway Road.

Village housing needs survey: The response to our survey was excellent. Thanks to everyone who filled in the form, and also to the volunteers who distributed it. The data are now being analysed and results will be available early in the New Year at a public event.

Landscape appraisal: The appraisal is nearly finished. It will form an important part of the final plan. Other work in preparation for the plan is also well underway.

Proposed development to the west of Woodway Road: The developers asked the Vale of White Horse Council whether they would need to do a full environmental impact assessment (EIA) before submitting a planning application. On 9 January a decision that they would need an EIA was announced.  This will take some time. Click here for more information and a link to the submitted documents and the full decision.
