A housing developer is appealing a decision by councillors to refuse plans for 110 new homes on the edge of Oakley. It would have tripled their housebuilding in the area, as the company are currently developing the 48-house Canterbury Gardens site. But now, the company have decided to appeal the decision. A decision is expected in June. Cllr Diane Taylor, who represents Oakley and North Waltham, has said she is passionate about the protection of all our villages which are so important for us all . She told The Gazette: This proposed development, which is seeking to take advantage of the slight shortfall in the Borough’s five year housing land supply, would be disastrous for Oakley as a village community, and would seriously compromise safety on the country lanes in Church Oakley, the area to the west of the village.
