At the beginning of July 2013 District councillors introduced Parish councillors to the proposal for a new settlement between the M40 and the B4100 to the north of the village of Gaydon, encompassing the village of Lighthorne Heath. This revelation came as a shock to the Parish councillors and the villagers of Lighthorne, Gaydon and Lighthorne Heath.
Following a meeting of Lighthorne Heath PC at which District Councillors presented the proposal, it was decided a sub-committee should be set up to gauge the opinions of the residents of the affected villages.
The scope of this report is the opinions of the residents of the Village of Gaydon.
