TO prevent housing development in unwanted and unplanned areas, it is important to get Local Plans passed by the Government inspector as soon as possible.
Oxford City took the hugely expensive (for the taxpayers of Oxford) decision to hire a Queen's Council in an attempt to close down the recent inspection process on the Cherwell Local Plan on purely selfish grounds.
Neither the inspector, or those in Cherwell District Council, who have worked so hard to get the plan to this stage, were at all impressed by this spoiling tactic.
I’m also sure the residents of Oxford city would not be too impressed by the huge bill they have had to pay through their taxes for this destructive infighting.
Any reasonable resident of Bicester or Oxford would hope that the councils could work together on planning issues.
