Dear KDW Supporters,

We wrote to you recently about a new consultation recently opened by the Council on this planning application. Although we doubted the validity of this process all along, we nevertheless suggested that all previous objectors should respond again, including an objection to the process itself.

We have now heard that:

• Cherwell has formally REFUSED the application and a decision notice has been placed on their website.
  
• The new consultation has been closed
  
• The application will not be taken back to planning committee because the Council has no mechanism for doing so.

It's very disappointing (putting it mildly) that the Council has taken so long to do this and also to have wasted everyone's time by starting an unnecessary consultation. 

Thank you to all who objected again. These responses may have influenced the Council’s latest actions. There is no need to make any further objections. 

Unfortunately, this is unlikely to be the end of things. There is a strong possibility that the applicant will appeal against refusal. We will be in touch again when we know more.

Thank you again for your support.

Kidlington Development Watch.
