Following the success of the lino-printing workshop last November, Tracey and Claud are back with another event to raise funds for Katharine House Hospice.

A ‘Winter Wonderland’ painting evening will take place in the Old School on Friday 6th Feb from 6:30 pm. To book a place, please contact Tracey or send an email to: horleyladiesguild@gmail.com

Claud says:

‘Come to an evening of painting your very own ‘Winter woodland’ canvas. Paint along with me and I promise you will finish with a beautiful painting that you will be proud of, with lots of fun and and laughter along the way. You don’t have to have any experience, you just need to have plenty of enthusiasm! I will provide all the materials. I look forward to seeing you, all in aid of Katharine House Hospice.

We will produce paintings similar to these:’

Planning Application in for Massive Solar Farm overlooking Horley

Update from Horley Parish Council:

If you are not already aware, a full planning application has now been submitted by Elgin Energy for a massive Solar Power Station to be built north of Hanwell and straddling the Warwick Road.  See map:

Part of the installation will overlook Horley along the skyline to the west of the Warwick Road and will be clearly visible as the slope of the site faces directly towards the village.  The Parish Council will oppose this development, principally on the grounds of its detrimental visual impact not just from the village but from the surrounding countryside.

The full planning application consisting of many pages of studies and reports is available on the CDC planning website https://planningregister.cherwell.gov.uk/Planning/Display/25/00407/F#undefined.  The reference number is 25/00407/F.

If you would like to make any comments on the application, you can do this via the CDC site using that reference number.  The current closing date is 6th September 2025, and this will be your final chance to make your views known to Cherwell District Council.
