A4155 closure
You will by now be aware that the main Henley - Reading road will have be closed for up to nine weeks from August 29th to allow for essential repairs where it is subsiding near the Flowing Spring pub.
A diversion for traffic under 7.5t in weight has been put in place via Dunsden and Binfield Heath and details circulated to both parish councils. Details can be found on the right of this page. Updates will be published on this site.
Gladman goes to committee
The application by Gladman to build 245 houses in Eye & Dunsden parish is now to be considered by councillors at a planning meeting on September 6th. SODC had previously indicated it would be turned down on grounds of the lack of available local education facilities. Buses will run from Emmer Green to Didcot and back for £5 per person if you would like to attend.

For nine weeks starting on August 29th the main A4155 will be closed for essential repairs. Traffic will be diverted though Binfield Heath, along Dunsden Way and down Shiplake Row to rejoin the main road. It is envisaged that at busy times it may be difficult to navigate through the village. Drivers are urged to be patient and pedestrians and cyclists wary.

The Bottle and Glass is opening longer and has a new ‘pub classics’ menu featuring a new take on some old favourites. The new garden barbecue has been fired up and is proving very popular. There is a menu specially for children. Take a look...
Bg Pub MenuThe application by Gladman to build 245 houses in Eye & Dunsden parish is now to be considered by councillors at a planning meeting on September 6th. SODC had previously indicated it would be turned down on grounds of the lack of available local education facilities.
The application is still rigorously opposed by Eye & Dunsden Parish Council, backed by six other local parishes in South Oxon, including Binfield Heath. It is also being fought by residents' associations in Emmer Green and, crucially, by Reading Borough Council, which says it cannot supply the services and support the estate would need to make it sustainable and which SODC would not be able to provide either.
Opponents of the scheme, which would treble the population of the small parish, are hoping for support from the hundreds of local objectors who have responded on-line to the application.

As SODC can no longer put up notices on site for every planning application we have decided to publish them on this website instead. You can use the link to look up the application on-line and make your own comments direct to SODC
