INTRODUCTION AND UPDATE |

1.1 |
This application was withdrawn from a previous committee agenda (21st April 2021) due to further information being required from the applicant as to how the proposal addresses local housing need and supports local employment, services and facilities as set out in policies CP3 and CP4 of LPP1. This issue was raised by local ward members and Shrivenham Parish Council in objections to the application and offices considered that additional information was required. This brief report provides an update on this issue. The main committee report is attached at Appendix 1. The plans are attached at Appendix 2.
