Land to the West of Wallingford Public Exhibition

The community of Wallingford was invited to view and comment on the latest emerging development proposals for Land to the West of Wallingford ('Site B').

This drop-in event was open to everybody and provided an opportunity to meet the team and find out more about the latest proposals for the site.

The exhibition followed on from some of the ideas that were developed at the Community Planning Event in July 2009 where the Vision for the Land to the West of Wallingford site was created. Since that time, SODC have produced a Draft Submission Core Strategy document which included the allocation of the Land to the West of Wallingford site for 750 new dwellings. However, this document was subsequently withdrawn prior to consideration at Committee. Following a period of uncertainty related to changing national and regional planning policy, SODC has now resolved to progress their Core Strategy and the Land to the West of Wallingford site remains one of the preferred strategic sites.

The Land to the West of Wallingford team has monitored these developments very carefully. Promoters of other sites in Wallingford are now coming forward with planning applications, notably at Winterbrook 'Site E', and since we believe Land to the West of Wallingford represents the best location for an expansion of the town we are now working on the submission of a planning application for the site. Our current thinking formed the basis of the exhibition on 18th October. You can view the exhibition and the Newsletter summarising the key issues that emerged from the exhibition at the in the PDF's located in the downloads section.
