Update on Gladman Planning application to build 100 dwellings. https://valeofwhitehorse.planning-register.co.uk/Planning/Display?applicationNumber=P26%2FV2692%2FO
(Open for comments until 20th August)
The proposals for development on this land have been refused three times in September 2018, April 2022, and June 2023.
There is no material change in circumstances since these previous application refusals. Therefore, the Parish Council have voted unanimously to oppose this application again and a detailed objection statement is being prepared for submission.
In the meantime, here is a summary of the main planning reasons why the Parish Council believe that this application should be refused again.
• Unallocated site beyond the boundary of the village and in open countryside, this is in conflict with the Vale of White Horse Local plan.
• Development outside the boundary of the village is also on conflict with the Shrivenham Neighbourhood plan.
• There is visual and landscape harm as removes open countryside. Development would erode the landscape buffer between existing housing and the A420
• Infrastructure capacity issues, in particular the known sewage issues at the local sewage works and capacity pressures on local healthcare provision
• Highways and traffic, the proposal would create significant additional traffic routed through Buckland Drive and would intensify local safety and capacity issues.
• There is adequate supply of housing in the area, an unplanned development is not needed and would result in harm and further pressure on the local community and infrastructure.
The full Parish Council objection will be published as soon as it has been submitted.
