Whilst I am in general agreement with the following key objectives listed as bullet points,
(1) Continue to protect the historic character of the village...
(2) Continue to protect important areas of open space...
(3) Protect and enhance key green infrastructure corridors and habitat network...
I am unable to reconcile the proposed removal of greenbelt / reduction of green corridor and extension of the built-up footprint of the village by the development highlighted on the map at OX1/H and to a lesser extent OX2/H.
Furthermore, it represents a significant step towards the urbanisation of what is currently a predominantly rural village. The preferred option for new housing provision in the village has always been via organic growth, infilling small brownfield sites, and not en bloc re-allocation of land use, such as these proposals.
