The Plough pub – planning application

Further to the flyer that you may or may not have received through your door today informing you of a planning application to convert The Plough in Upper Wardington to residential use, the quoted planning application reference number is incorrect. The correct reference is 16/00367/F. Details can be found here: http://www.publicaccess.cherwell.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=O33II0EMH5300. I am posting this purely to correct an error. I have no idea who printed or distributed the flyer and I am not passing an opinion either way about the application.

Upper Edgcote

In view of the adverse publicity being generated by extensive media coverage of HS2 the residents of Upper Wardington had a meeting over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend where it was resolved to change the name of this part of the village to Upper Edgcote. A Rectification Application has been made to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and confirmation is anticipated in due course.
