I AM writing concerning Doric’s proposal at Botley.
I have been heartened to read the continuing community support questioning and highlighting inaccuracies over the proposals to update Botley’s precinct.
I wonder how much detail has been submitted regarding expansion of the sewerage and drainage network to serve Doric’s substantial development ideas?
Since decentralisation and planning powers were passed down to local authorities, local authorities have failed to impose planning conditions on developments, leaving Oxford with underdeveloped infrastructure – which is more costly and is proving difficult to put right afterwards.
