A planning application for two new industrial units on land at Cotmore Well Farm, just outside Thame, has been approved by South Oxfordshire District Council.
With 80 jobs expected to be created over the next five years, it is anticipated that the two units, which will be occupied by two companies currently based in Long Crendon, will help sustain the local economy.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the next few months, and the buildings occupied by the Spring of 2015.
I am really surprised that so little note has been made of the fact that this development has been given approval by both Thame Town Council and South Oxfordshire District Council despite the fact that it contravenes the principles of our Neighbourhood Plan. This site was allocated as 3ha in the Neighbourhood Plan and permission has been given here for 4.6ha which is 50% more than we signed up for when we were encouraged to VOTE YES. We need to defend our Neighbourhood Plan.
