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.

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.
