Sacha White QC represents the 34 parish councils who oppose the resort, Douglas Edwards QC represents Cherwell District Council and James Strachan QC represents the appellant GWR.

Amy DiPietro, principal engineer with Morris & Ritchie Associates, called the addition of 36,000-square-feet âa minor addition.â
