Nearest GP surgery is a part time one serving Bishops Tachbrook.

Limited public transport and only one small village shop.

Local schools are small and have limited resources. An influx of new children, potentially with particular needs, will disrupt things for existing students.

Vehicular access to the site (the main Banbury Road to the M40 turn off, and Oakley Wood Road coming over the Motorway bridge) is hazardous.

Banbury Road and its junction with Mallory Road have poor safety records so adding caravans and commercial vehicles will aggravate the situation. Especially as access onto the Banbury Road cannot provide adequate sight lines.

There is no site drainage and so adding it would be costly for local taxpayers.

The site is highlight visible and the Landscape Sensitivity, Ecology & Geological Report for the New Local Plan has assessed the landscape sensitivity in this area to housing development to be 'High'.
