Planning Inspector misled over Wallingford Site B
It has become apparent that 430 metres of the 20 years old shelterbelt that currently screens Site B along the bypass will be removed in order to facilitate the new road junction. This will have a highly significant, detrimental impact on the landscape. Throughout the public examination the developer said that they would ‘…reinforce the existing and maturing site screening along the bypass…’ The Inspector in his report clearly believed this to be the situation, ‘…where present, existing trees and boundary vegetation can be retained and supplemented.’ There is a condition for the development of Site B that the western boundary is reinforced with significant landscape buffers. The Parish Council has highlighted this serious breach of the planning policy to SODC.
Neighbourhood Plan
Work is starting on the parish neighbourhood plan. Activity will begin in earnest once information is available from the recent village questionnaire.
Slade End bend
New white lines and SLOW markings will soon appear on the road leading to this bend in order to encourage all drivers to drive with care and consideration.
‘Twenty is plenty’ speed stickers are available from the Parish Clerk.
New venue for Parish Council meetings will be in the Church annexe.
