The parish council applied to the district council for a neighbourhood area designation to outline the area that would be covered by the Neighbourhood Development Plan for Kingston Bagpuize and Southmoor. This includes a small area within Fyfield & Tubney parish (with the agreement of F&T parish council). A steering group was formed and we are well on our way with producing policies, maps and collating information on all the many aspects of the village with the help of a planning consultant and professional copywriters. We would love villagers to come and see and comment on what we have done so far – there will be holding a meeting on Wednesday 26 March in the Swallow Room at the Village Hall at 6.30pm – all are welcome.
For interest, the neighbourhood development plans of other local towns and villages can be downloaded from the Vale of White Horse District Council’s website.
In the meantime please send in your thoughts on what infrastructure or facilities you feel are lacking in this parish to clerk@kbs-parishcouncil.gov.uk including NDP in the subject line of the email.
