The most popular option was to distribute the house building between towns, large and small villages. The options were:
A - 100% of new housing to be built around the towns of South Oxfordshire (Henley, Wallingford & Thame)
B - 80% of new housing to be built around the towns of South Oxfordshire & 20% around the larger villages
C - 60% of new housing to be built around the towns of South Oxfordshire & 40% around the larger villages
D - 60% of new housing to be built around the towns of South Oxfordshire & 20% around the larger villages and 20% distributed around the smaller villages
E - Don't know
If there is to be new housing for the village all these issues need to be taken in to account as well as the environmental issues. The following suggestions were received via the questionnaire for areas that could be in-filled with up to 4 dwellings : Fane Drive opposite the dentist, the bottom shops, beyond Barrington Close, the Drayton side of Fane Drive, Lay avenue car park. Behind Costcutters, opposite Fox’s Diner and the car boot field next to the Reading road. Respondents expressed opposition to using the school field or Parish council fields.
