Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council (GWEPC), following consultation with parishioners, objects to the planning application for the Oxford United Football Club (OUFC) Stadium. Whilst the design of the stadium appears to be to a suitable standard, it is the impact on the surrounding area which is our primary concern. Although the stadium itself is not located in our parish, it does however have a major impact on our community. See response above.
