The site of the proposed Garden Village is in the foreground to the right (north of Eynsham); floods were receding on this date. Adrian adds...
The water run off from the site will impact flooding in an area that clearly floods (and there’s more even development along the route, nearby). There are things that can be done to minimise runoff - but this is top grade farmland.
