PLANS for 20 new homes in Goring are set to be approved despite opposition from neighbours.
South Oxfordshire District Council’s planning officers have backed an application for outline planning permission by Frenbury Developments and Elegant Homes, of Caversham, to develop a 2.24-hectare field to the east of Manor Road between Little Croft and Elmcroft.
The site was earmarked for 20 units in the Goring neighbourhood plan.
The development would comprise a mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced units with between two and four bedrooms on the eastern half of the site. Forty per cent would be “affordable” with prices or rents fixed below market value.
