MEMBERS of West Oxfordshire District Council’s lowlands area planning sub-committee are to make a site visit before considering controversial proposals for a housing development in Witney.

Councillors agreed at a meeting on Monday to inspect the site off Burford Road, overlooking the Windrush Valley, at the rear of the Windrush Inn, before they make a decision on the outline application from Gladman Developments for planning permission to build 270 homes.

The sub-committee is expected to consider the scheme at its meeting next month.
