Keep Nethercote Rural 

Developing the area of Nethercote for commercial use would have a hugely negative impact on our countryside; increase traffic and place further pressure on the M40 roundabout which is already insufficient for the volume; increase noise from alarms and machinery; remove the natural habitat for wildlife and birds; increase flooding risks by removing permeable surfaces to mention a few.

Nethercote is a rural hamlet on the edge of Banbury, Oxfordshire. The hamlet lays in an area of approx165acres, today, predominantly agricultural land used for grazing, a single-track road runs through the hamlet, known as Banbury Lane, which has around a dozen residential properties along the lane

Nethercote is separated from the rest of the Banbury parish by the M40, a physical end to the urban spread that makes the rural hamlet a tranquil area of unspoilt countryside and in which lays precious heritage landscape that has survived more than 500 years as well as an abundance of habitat and wildlife
