THE developer behind a 160-home estate in the village has agreed to fund an extension at Bampton Primary School.
Richborough Estates, which was granted planning permission by West Oxfordshire District Council in March, will also invest in bus stops, the village library and public art projects as part of its developer contributions for the scheme.
Director Danny Parkinson-Witte said: “We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the council, which not only allows for the creation of an exciting new place to live, but significant advantages to the local community.”
More than 330 residents signed a petition opposing the development, which will include a combination of one- to five-bedroom houses, saying it was overdevelopment and could lead to further flooding.
