Councillor Dan Levy, Executive Member for Finance, introduced and gave an overview of the report, which considered an addendum to the West Eynsham SDA masterplan, produced by the four main landowner/developers in response to further engagement with third party landowners.

In debate, it was highlighted that the report was before the Executive as a result of amendments to the Masterplan, which had arisen from land owners in Eynsham claiming that they had not been consulted on the Masterplan. Developers in the area had since consulted with the land owners, and these had formed the amendments for consideration at the meeting.

Councillor Levy proposed that the second recommendation on the report’s front sheet be amended to refer the matter to Overview and Scrutiny Committee ahead of further consideration by the Executive at a future meeting.

Councillor Levy proposed that the Executive agree the recommendations as amended.

This was seconded by Councillor Andy Graham, was put to a vote and was unanimously agreed by the Executive.

Executive Resolved to:

  1. Note the content of the report; and
  2. Request that the relevant Overview & Scrutiny Committee consider this item and provide any comments, before it is re-considered by the Executive.
