Iffley is only two miles from the centre of Oxford by river, towpath or road yet it retains a village atmosphere. It includes buildings constructed over the past nine centuries; the magnificent St Mary\u2019s Church (1160) and churchyard, as well as a lock and weir (above). <\/span><\/p>

FOIV organised a very well attended Public Meeting on the CPZ consultation proposals, held at Mercure Hawkwell House on 22nd August (thanks to HHH for hosting this). Councillors Baines, Henwood and Elphinstone were present to hear wide-ranging views; people were encouraged also to write in individually to express these. FOIV\u2019s response, incorporating views expressed, can be seen here<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

Oxford Local Plan 2040<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planning Inspectors have been appointed to examine the Local Plan2040 and decide whether it can be ‘adopted’. They will hold sessions starting\u00a0Tuesday 11 June<\/span>, 9.30 am, at Rose Hill Community Centre, Carole\u2019s Way, Rose Hill, Oxford, OX4 4HF. Information about the examination, including the agenda for the Hearing Sessions, deadlines and all associated documentation is available on the Council\u2019s\u00a0Examination website<\/a>. Google \u2018Oxford Local Plan 2040 Examination\u2019 for information. If you scroll down to the bottom link to \u2018Oxford Local Plan 2040 Examination Library\u2019, this takes you to a record of all the documents they are considering. If you go to Chapter 008 \u2018Representations\u2019 there is a folder with all of the comments received and representation letters so you can see comments on the 2040 plan, both on the plan as a whole and specific provisions for different sites. The Horse Fields are \u2018Land at Meadow Lane SPS13\u2019.<\/p>\n

If you wish to participate in any of the hearing sessions, please contact Ian Kemp, and indicate the Matter(s) you wish to participate in, by 5 pm on\u00a0Friday 17 May 2024<\/span>. The deadline for receipt of any written submissions in response to the Inspectors\u2019 Matters, Issues and Questions is 5 pm on Friday 24 May 2024. Written submissions should be emailed to IAN KEMP at\u00a0ian@localplanservices.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

We note that BBOWT, Oxford Preservation Trust and Oxford Greens all oppose the development on the Horse Fields and suggest removing it from the allocation in the Local Plan 2040. Natural England suggests greater consideration is needed for the blue\/green infrastructure; the Environment Agency lists extensive negative findings on flooding with suggested requirements for the site; Thames Water (re Iffley Mead site) raises concerns over sewers and infiltration which likely also impact the Horse Fields site.<\/p>\n

We see that all the FOIV evidence and reports are noted and pointed to by several of the agencies\/bodies above. This is a chance to have the Horse Fields removed from the allocation.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/b>\n\nHorse Fields update<\/b>\n\nFOIV heard from the Planning Officer that the \u2018revised plans\u2019 consultation has been stopped for the time being because of issues with OxPlace\u2019s documents. The site notices have been\/will be removed.<\/span>\n\nThe Planning Officer states that: \u2018I appreciate that this is frustrating for all concerned and I apologise for the inconvenience. I can advise that full consultation will be carried out again in due course and I will keep you updated regarding any progress.\u2019\u00a0<\/em><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sad news: Fran Deacon<\/strong>, resident of Lucas and Remy Place, died this week. A nurse by profession, she turned her imagination and writing skills in retirement \u00a0to poetry and \u00a0short articles, some of which she self-published. As a female quizmaster, she made sure that the subjects she chose were extremely varied. She was intending to put herself forward as manager of Lucas and Remy Place but became too ill to consider it. She is survived by a son and a daughter and her husband Cliff, himself well known in the village for being useful, able and willing to help anyone with gardening and small jobs of any sort. \u00a0Fran: \u00a0your cheerful outlook and your daring sense of humour will be sorely missed. \u00a0By\u00a0Peggy Seeger<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
