We oppose the proposal to build on the North Oxford Golf Course and the area east of the Banbury Road, between Cutteslowe Park and Oxford Parkway station - all Green Belt land. Both proposals would lead to coalescence of Oxford with Kidlington and be detrimental to the setting of the internationally recognised historic city of Oxford. Development of the countryside between the park and the station would have a detrimental effect on the open countryside, access to it and the setting of two Grade 2 listed buildings. This area also has no eastern boundary so there is risk of onward spread of development in future years towards Islip.

All indications are that executive housing would be built to meet demand from commuters to London; this would not address Oxford's unmet housing need.
