Permission granted for 130 homes on two sites );
PLANS to build up to 130 homes in Watlington have been approved.
Providence Land is to build up to 70 properties on land north-east of Cuxham Road and up to another 60 west of Pyrton Lane.
The sites were earmarked for 60 and 38 respectively in the town’s neighbourhood plan.
The developments will include a section of the “edge road”, or bypass, running to the north-west of the town, which is seen as vital in helping to take traffic out of the town centre and improving air
quality.
The bypass would go from the B4009 Pyrton crossroads north of Watlington to Britwell Road in the south.
