Dear Supports
A bit of good news is that the Government has decided that the main study they based their housing needs for the next 15 or so years was wrong and exaggerated, and new guidelines will be published next year.
It's a good opportunity to keep the pressure on South Oxfordshire District Council to scrap plans to build in Green Belt Land at Culham.
Please comment on the newspaper article in this link to create awareness so newspapers give this issue a strong voice. Now is the time to stop these plans as the local authorities still want to approve changes to the Green Belt and decide later if we need to build on it.
Once the Green Belt is gone, it will be gone for ever.

Say NO to building on Green Belt Land, say no to building at Culham.
Thank you for your support

Save Culham Green Belt committee

The site in Culham, for 3,500 homes, would require land to be removed from the Oxfordshire Green Belt. National guidelines allow councils to make a case for the removal of land from the Green Belt in exceptional circumstances. The council believes these circumstances exist in Culham, particularly due to its proximity to high quality employment and transport links. The planning inspector will consider the case for this when he or she examines the plan. As the plan explains, these homes will add to the pressure for a new bridge across the Thames.

The local plan will be considered at the following council committee meetings:

• Wednesday 13 September – Scrutiny committee
• Wednesday 20 September – Cabinet
• Thursday 28 September – Full council

The council will publish its final draft of the local plan on 11 October and will invite a further round of comments from the public, which will then be submitted along with the plan to the government. The plan and the comments will be considered by a planning inspector as part of a public examination, which will take place next year.
