Bellway has started work on a new housing estate in North Abingdon to be called Radley Reach. The development, located north of Twelve Acre Drive and east of Oxford Road, will build 371 new homes, including a new sports pavilion and playing pitches.
The first phase of the development has already begun, with the earth moving and laying the first entrance from Twelve Acre Drive and some signs. The development will also include a central area of retained trees, which will be known as St. Helen’s Park.
The existing footpath to Radley College driveway has been protected with fences for the moment and a diversion is planned.
new sports pavilion and playing pitches…that’s alright then, because we don’t really need new schools, Doctors, dentists to cope with the added population.
True, we already have Tilsley Park, and VOWH leisure centre, why more sports stuff? What about a doctors, dentist, pre-school…
There’s insufficient immediate profit in infrastructure….
You were all perfectly free to provide input and concerns during the planning permission stages……..
What makes you think we didn’t?
Knowing that no one would take any notice – they never do, or get overturned at a later stage. Particularly new people moving in probably don’t realise the lack of infrastructure/facilities there is/will be.
Yes, because we all know how much our opinion matters on anything relating to planning or infrastructure….
shut up we need more houses i bet you all own your own homes…if you want more doctors, schools and dentists ask for them dont rally against more housing!!!
