RESIDENTS of Woodcote should be given first choice of new housing in the village, says the parish council.
This is because there aren’t enough smaller units, particularly for young people who grew up in the village and would like to remain in order to start a family.
The council will begin public consultation on a draft of its revised neighbourhood plan tomorrow (Saturday).
The document earmarks land for 57 more new homes to be built by the year 2035.
It calls for more smaller units and says properties should be available to residents only in the first three months of going on the market.
