Planning Application for the Poplars

The long-empty house by the pedestrian crossing on the Drayton Road is the subject of a planning application to the Vale of White Horse District Council.  A developer proposes to demolish it and build a three storey property, divided into 8 flats, with 11 parking spaces.  You can see full details on the Vale’s Planning Register website.  Search for P18/V3012/FUL

If you want to comment on this to the Vale - do hurry, as the consultation period ends on 25th January.
