\"housing
\nThere was a good turn out to the exhibition today showing the developers plans for 170 new dwellings in a field in South Abingdon.
\n\"housing
\nThe field in question is east of the Drayton Road (on the picture with the pointy trees in front).\u00a0
\n\"housing
\nThe field in question (with red outline) appears on this map to be one of the few fields on the Abingdon perimeter that is neither floodplain (blue) nor greenbelt (green). Yellow is residential and purple stripes business.
\n\"housing
\nThe plan would involve a new junction onto the Drayton Road. (thanks to Nigel for sending this mash up map) <\/p>\n

The developers have not done the traffic studies yet but say they would look to introduce traffic mitigation measures so that Drayton Road traffic would be no worse or dangerous than it is currently.<\/p>\n

There was a high turnout because Drayton Road is such a traffic blackspot and residents were concerned about the traffic impact . <\/p>\n

This attempt to develop a field in South Abingdon does raise the question about where can Abingdon expand now. <\/p>\n

In South Abingdon there will be a lot of opposition if better infrastructure is not put in place. In North Abingdon green belt land would need to be sacrificed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
