We’re keen to hear your views on the proposals. Please provide your comments by Tuesday 1st July 2014 Example Pye Homes house style Land west of Fruitlands Why are these proposals coming forward? Eynsham West Oxfordshire has a shortage in the supply of new homes within the district and therefore opportunities are being sought to deliver new homes across towns and villages in order to meet this demand. Pye Homes is promoting the land as a small and well-designed residential development. We believe that we can deliver this smaller scheme to help meet local need in a compact and sustainable development. Tackling local issues l A full traffic and transport assessment will be carried out to accompany the proposals, looking at any opportunities to improve traffic flows if they are impacted by the development. We will be looking carefully at any impact on existing residents, including construction traffic routing and timings. A natural surface water drainage scheme will be designed and managed to dispose of rain water on the site by allowing water to naturally infiltrate into the ground, creating an overall reduction in flood risk and reducing the rate at which water reaches local watercourses. l l The proposals seek to retain all of the significant trees within the site, alongside additional planting to thicken hedgerows and provision of additional trees which will be maintained as part of the development. No significant ecological habitats have been found within the site. New homes would be significantly set back from the properties along the boundary, providing a strong separation between the new and existing homes. l l The footpath link to the south west corner will be retained as part of the proposals. We’ve put more information on our website and we’re keen to hear your feedback. Let us know what you think. We’ll then review the feedback we receive and feed it into the planning application. We’ll keep local residents informed of changes to the proposals as we progress.
