Keeping the village and wider community updated
HORSE FIELDS UPDATE
Further survey work to take place
A contractor employed by OCHL has undertaken a CCTV survey of utilities, including drainage, in Meadow Lane.
OCHL have informed us that there will be members of their professional teams on the Horse Fields conducting additional ecological and other surveys beginning from 26 July onwards. All works, we are assured, are being conducted by a qualified and experienced ecologist. OCHL has also assured the Village that no intrusive works are being undertaken.
Some of these additional surveys and investigations will require night-time assessments. This will involve the installation of a generator and three lights for one or two nights. These lights will not be sited immediately adjacent to any properties. The Development Manager, Will McKay: WMCKAY@oxford, gov.uk, has agreed that he may be approached if there are any questions about these procedures.
OCHL would like also to remind residents that the Horse Fields and the Memorial Field are private land over which there are no rights of way, and that permissions needs to be sought for anyone seeking access to these fields.
