A PLANNING decision to build more than 4000 homes has been deferred after concerns over healthcare, safe active travel access, sustainability, and biodiversity. The proposal for up to 4254 houses between Harwell and Didcot at a development called Valley Park sparked concerns from community groups, residents, and the Liberal Democrats. Blewbury and Harwell district councillors, Sarah Medley and Hayleigh Gascoigne expressed “extreme concern” over the limited health provisions for the new site, with potentially thousands of new residents in the area, but no new GP facilities. Councillor Sarah Medley said: “We don’t object to new houses for people to live in, but these houses need to be sustainable, and built for need not greed.”
