Fresh plans have been lodged to add six new caravans to an existing Oxfordshire Traveller site. 

Applicant Charlie McDonnagh has submitted the plans to Cherwell District Council for the scheme at Manor Park in Hampton Poyle, near Kidlington. 

The site was initially granted permission for eight pitches, which include a mobile home, a day room, two parking spaces, septic tank and space for a touring caravan.

Since then, three further pitches have been permitted. 

By Monday, October 21, no public comments had been submitted in support or objection. 

In the application's planning statement, it said: “It is proposed to site six 12 x 4m static caravans to be set on concrete slabs.

Traveller site plans (Image: Cherwell District Council) “The siting of the statics considers neighbouring properties and has no over-looking issues, the size and positioning has been carefully considered to avoid an overlooking crowded site.

“It is proposed to access the site from the front of Manor Park for vehicles and for pedestrians.

“The application proposes the addition of six extra static caravans within the mobile home park for residential accommodation, this would ease overcrowding as its for two families who have got bigger. 

“In accordance with application protocol, we have undertaken an extensive amount of work and investigation to enable us to submit to the council a meaningful working scheme for a better planning application on this site.”
