Kler submitted their original planning application for 36 houses on the field on the corner of the Didcot Road and Fieldside in April.

On 8th September they submitted revisions to their application that seek to address some of the issues raised by consultees and the Parish Council.  As a result of these amendments, SODC have opened the case again for 21 days of consultation ending 6th October. It is expected that the application will now go before the SODC Planning Committee possibly in December.

(The community hub – school, pre-school and hall – will be financed entirely from profit from these houses and the number of houses is relatively low because the landowner is prepared to sell land at less than market value).

Formal responses were received from 14 residents and 11 statutory bodies.  Comments Continue reading →
