Golf centre will become caravan park

2:10pm Wednesday 4th April 2012 in Bicester

Plans to convert an Oxfordshire golf centre into a caravan park have been approved.

Investfront Ltd applied to Cherwell District Council to create a holiday park at Heathfield Golf Centre, Heathfield, near Bicester.

Plans include spaces for up to 150 touring caravans, an office, shop, store, launderette, kitchen, toilets, showers and washing facilities, and a static mobile home for the site manager.

The site has the A34 on one side and fields on the other, and Heathfield Nursing Home and pub and restaurant The Oxfordshire Inn nearby.

An earth bank is also proposed on the south east boundary to shield the caravan park from the A34.

Planners received letters from 13 objectors, including Bletchingdon Parish Council, saying there were other caravan sites in the area, that there would be an impact on the local area and wildlife, and that the site would be noisy.

Two letters supporting the application said it would provide employment and support the local economy.

So the A34 isn't noisy, doesn't impact the environment, and is great for wildlife is it?. Well I suppose parish councillors have to do something to show that they are important.

I think you'll find that the parish councillors have been complaining about the noise from the A34 for many years.

However much of the road noise from the A34 has in the past been as a result of the road surface, not the cars. I think it's been retarmaced now though, so not as noisy as in the old days?

I think the "thud, thud, thud, thud" was worse for the drivers. Than the local residents. When they say caravan park they mean Irish travellers.
