1		Kennington needs to be expanded to include Radley to Sugworth Lane and Redrow’s development
2		Bagley Wood should remain in Kennington in its entirety. These proposals involve a land grab of Bagley Wood and would involve splitting it across parish boundaries. I can see South Hinksey being more receptive to development proposals of the tract of the wood they took; than Kennington. I have no feelings about the hotel plot itself.
3		Wish to keep Bagley Wood as a whole within the Parish of Kennington
4		The hotel being part of the parish with other houses nearby makes sense but the new lines cutting thiugh the woods to the A34 doesn’t . Better for the woods to remain whole and within one parish
5		While it makes some sense to have the housing in the parish it's closest to (South Hinksey), splitting Bagley Wood between parishes does not seem like a good idea. The wood is ancient and is a celebrated part of Kennington parish. Dividing it between parishes could have implications for its preservation, particularly on the border, where there could be misunderstandings or disputes about responsibility. Please keep Bagley Wood united within one parish.
6		Makes sense to me.
7		Splitting Bagley Wood between South Hinksey and Kennington neighbourhood councils is of concern. The wood should be kept within one neighbourhood area. Splitting it risks degradation and hiving off parts for development. I can see that the aim of South Hinksey neighbours feeling a link with their neighbours when the hotel has been developed and the bus stop paths but the current arrangements cater for that. I walk Bagley Woods regularly and consider the housing within in “Kennington” as do the residents I have spoken to there.
8		The wood should remain a single parish
9		Bagley Wood should remain within one parish. Once divided it will become more at risk of degradation. Also the boundaries should follow clear and obvious lines such as the main roads and not some tiny ditch. However it is hard to see the details on the thumbnail map and when I click on it to see an enlarged version I get taken to the Kingston Bagpuize map instead.
10		Kennington Parish Council objects to this proposed boundary change in the strongest terms. Kennington parish was created in 1936 from South Hinksey and Radley parishes, which was led by the resident of the house that later became the Westwood Country Hotel. Bagley Wood was entirely in the newly formed parish of Kennington and should remain so. There is no justification for adjusting the boundary.
