Godswell Park, Bloxham
OS Parcel 3498 East Of Heatherstone Lodge 17/01328/OUT Fulwell Road Finmere Applicant: Siteplan UK LLP Proposal: Outline application for residential development Ward: Fringford And Heyfords Councillors: Cllr Ian Corkin Cllr James Macnamara Cllr Barry Wood Reason for Referral: Major planning application Expiry Date: 29 September 2017 Committee Date: 28 September 2017 Recommendation: Refuse 1. APPLICATION SITE AND LOCALITY 1.1. The application site lies at the western extent of the village of Finmere. An old section of the Banbury Road, which has limited vehicle access, runs to the south of the site. Further to the south of the site is the A421 and then open countryside. The north edge of the site lies adjacent to existing residential properties including 1 Top Gardens and Flower Patch, whilst the north west of the site lies adjacent to Heatherstone Lodge. The garden of Westbury End runs along the northern part of the eastern boundary of the site. To the south east and south west of the site is open countryside. 1.2. The site slopes from approximately 121m AOD adjacent to the southern boundary to approximately 116m AOD to the north. Therefore the land rises slightly from the main part of the village to the north. The site also falls away to the west and north west. It is approximately 1.4 hectares, comprises agricultural grass land, which currently appears to be used for grazing. There are no buildings or structures on the site. There is a pond on the western boundary of the site. There are a number of public footpaths which cross the site including 213/10/10, 213/10/20, 213/1/30 and 213/1/40.

The United Benefice of Bloxham with Milcombe and South Newington Benefice Profile Autumn 2015 TABLE of CONTENTS
The United Benefice of Bloxham with Milcombe and South Newington Benefice Profile Autumn 2015 TABLE OF CONTENTS: FOREWORD FROM THE BISHOP 1 APPENDICES BENEFICE OVERVIEW 2 APPENDIX 1 - OUR LOCATION 15 WHAT WE ARE PRAYING FOR 3 APPENDIX II - BENEFICE SUNDAY SERVICES 16 PARISH PROFILES APPENDIX III - OUR FINANCES 17 BLOXHAM 4 MILCOMBE 7 SOUTH NEWINGTON 9 OUR SCHOOLS 11 THE VICARAGE 12 WHAT WE CAN OFFER 13 THE DEDDINGTON DEANERY 14 FOREWORD BY RT REVD. COLIN FLETCHER, BISHOP OF DORCHESTER one and the Archdeacon, Parish Development Adviser, and I will, as ever, do what we can to offer our help to you. It is good to be proved wrong as a bishop. I warmly commend this post to you. Normally I look to move things on in a vacancy to make sure that it does not last too long. After all longer ones can damage the life of a benefice. Bloxham, Milcombe and South Newington are, however, an exception to that general rule. It took courage not to appoint when we had a chance to do so, but the result has been, to quote this profile, ‘A realisation that the Holy Spirit (has been) at work during the vacancy drawing out the talents, resources, and skill sets amongst the congregations and lay leadership of the benefice’. Looking back, these months have been a period of growth and development in the life of these congregations. This post has always been a good one with plenty of opportunities for development in one way or another, but it is an even better one now.
