On 13 July 2012 three members of the Beacon Project, along with two members of Charlbury Town Council, met with West Oxfordshire District Council planning officers and other staff, to discuss the proposal for a co-housing and affordable housing scheme for a site off Forest Road, Charlbury, owned by the Cornbury Estate.
The site was at one time earmarked for possible expansion of the adjacent industrial area near Charlbury station. A lively discussion on the topic of sustainable communities followed, as well as the new planning environment of the National Planning Policy Framework and the Localism Act (Community Right to Build).
The Beacon Project has followed up this meeting with a written response, which has been answered by WODC planning officers. The Project is currently reviewing its strategy for the Forest Road site project and will post more details soon.
