Another *new* planning application on B4009

There’s another application that has just been lodged with SODC. It’s for planning permission in principle for “a phased development of 1 self-build dwelling” at the junction of the B4009 and Aston Rowant Road. The application reference is P25/S1830/PIP.

The council is objecting for a number of reasons including the expansion of the village footprint with scope to – potentially – lead to more building on the same field and also on other neighbouring green fields, likely access via a busy junction adjacent to a chicane, and prior flooding of the land.

The deadline to lodge comment is Monday 28 July.

The site was previously rejected by the Planning Inspectorate in 2019 because of the inappropriateness of the location, lack of sustainability and lack of facilities. Nothing has changed.

Please see the flyer below and object by visiting the application here or by sending an email to citing P25/S1830/PIP.

This is an issue for the parish as a WHOLE – we are all bounded by green space. The council needs your help to protect the parish boundary.
