New poles on Hornton Lane and Church Lane to be removed – confirmation and indicative timescales

The Parish Council has received the following communication regarding the three recently erected poles…

From Openreach Pole Objections Team

The area PM-Program Manager tells us that x3 Poles will be removed from the vicinity of Horley Cherwell, OX15 6BQ district. I’m sorry we have no timeframes as yet, but we aim to have them removed within 8 weeks, these recovery works will be managed via our Program Manager moving forward.

If you have any queries please contact the Parish Council at horleypc@gmail.com

Vistry Appeal begins tomorrow, running until 13 June

Tomorrow (Tuesday 4 June) is the first day of the Planning Appeal on the outline application for up to 170 dwellings on the fields between Hanwell and Banbury. 

You can attend this public inquiry at Cherwell District Council, Bodicote House. It starts at 9:30am on Tuesday 4 June and will finish on Thursday 13 June.

Tomorrow, the following representatives will be speaking from 11am:

Cllr Dr Cat Reid, Hanwell Parish Council
Cllr Nina Musgrove, Drayton Parish Council 
Cllr Kate Wythe, Horley Parish Council 
Cllr Sue Upton, The Bourtons Parish Council
Cllr Chris Brant, Cherwell District Council, Banbury Town Council

Your support would be greatly appreciated and will show the Planning Inspector the impact this would have on the village if it was allowed. 

You can also attend on Wed 5th, Thu 6th (AM only), Fri 7th, Tue 11, Wed 12 and Thu 13. There is no meeting on Monday 10th June.

This short film was produced by the Action Group to be shown at the Appeal. The Planning Inspector decided not to show it at the inquiry, but has said he will view it.

At yesterday’s Keep Hanwell Village Rural Action Group Meeting, Chris Brant stood down as Chair and Robin Aikten became the new Chair. Chris had to stand down following his successful election as both District and Town Councillor. 

We hope to see you at the inquiry.

Thank you for your continued support.

Update: new poles on Hornton Lane and Church Lane to be removed

Following the objections raised by the Parish Council and village residents, Openreach have reviewed the installation of the three new poles on Hornton Lane and Church Lane and agreed to remove them. This should happen in the next few weeks.

We are awaiting further information from Openreach on next steps.

As far as we are aware, the Gigaclear proposals for the whole village remain in place and they have assured us that they will not be installing new poles. Timescales for the Gigaclear proposals are not yet firm but they have indicated installation should be within the next 12 months.

The Parish Council is maintaining contact with Openreach, Gigaclear and the Oxfordshire County Council Digital Infrastructure Programme and will provide further details as soon as they are available.

If you have any queries please contact the Parish Council at horleypc@gmail.com
