A GROUP of Bicester county councillors say the lack of a clear plan for Bicester is allowing developers to ride rough shod through the local planning system. In a letter sent to this newspaper, councillors Michael Waine for Bicester Town, Les Sibley for Bicester West and Donna Ford for Bicester North have hit out at Cherwell District Council and are calling for a masterplan to be created to give a better roadmap on what kind of development should be built in the town, particularly in the central area.
The letter says: We are growingly concerned that the absence of a masterplan for Bicester is leaving the door wide open to developers to ride ‘rough shod’ through the local planning system.
