Keeping Iffley and wider community informed

22/02446/CT3  Donnington Recreation Ground

– Formation of new footpath and cycle path and associated landscaping

Which includes cutting down a number of the trees that form presently a copse on Meadow Lane to make room for a new exit. The questions for local residents are: is this an effective way of protecting the playing fields from being crossed by pedestrian and cycles? And will the new proposed sloping exit lead to added danger for users of the Quiet Route from cyclists (or possibly even motorcyclists) exiting too fast on to Meadow Lane?

Keeping Iffley and wider community informed

FOIV’s remit is to conserve and preserve our village. This requires constant vigilance by your Committee not least in sensitive areas, eg Horse Field, Court Place, etc. where a named Committee member is charged with protecting Iffley’s interest. For general planning issues, please contact Phil Hart on planning@friendsofiffley.org

IMPORTANT UPDATES

Horse Field Planning Application for 29+ homes is going live The Council’s developers, OX Place, have completed a pre-application with the Local Planning Authority which it contends is ‘a complete, robust and compelling application’. OXPlace expects formal submission prior to Christmas. The plannerTemplars Square – REDEVCO, the new owners, want to hear our views. A scheme was given planning approval in 2016 for the redevelopment of the site. The first drop in session is November 19th. Shoot this QR for more information or visit  http://Futuretemplarssquare.co.uks then validate the submission before making it public. This could take a few weeks.

Prince of Wales’s future Is this a tenancy issue or viability of the business? We await Wadsworth’s next steps. In the meantime we are exploring registering it as a community asset as its use ‘furthers the social wellbeing / social interests of the local community’ and hopefully this would afford some protection against change of use.
Lead: David Broughton

Court Place – It will be necessary to allow contractors limited access through the village to work on the utilities at East Church. Feltham will advise on timing. Lead: Phil – planning@friendsofiffley.org
