It is with dismay that we have received information about yet another housing proposal in Bodicote. The village has already been touched by the building projects on the other side of the main road (BAN 3) This proposed new build would push the actual village out towards Adderbury, and open the floodgates for an urban sprawl which would subsume all the villages close by. Bloxham, Adderbury & Bodicote all wish to retain their autonomy, this is just an initial proposal of what could turn these villages into an anonymous sprawl. Cherwell District council is charged with not only providing housing, but preserving the heritage and integrity of this area.
 
Your Draft core strategy Feb 2010 does not include this area in either its strategic or reserve  housing allocation, so why is the council considering areas outside this remit,  an area not deemed essential in Feb this year.
 
Having viewed the proposed estate plan, I hope consideration will be given to the fact that a lot of the surrounding houses are low-level; either being bungalows or chalet type houses. The building of high 3 storey type town houses would be totally incongrous to the surroundings and impact upon the privacy of existing dwellings.
