Who we are
We are a group calling ourselves Responsible Planning in Burford (RPiB). We formed to coordinate action by Burford residents on local housing and related new developments.
What we want
We want to ensure that any new developments in Burford contribute to our needs without detracting from our heritage. We also need to judge the effect on schools, medical facilities, roads, sewers, drainage etc .
What we are doing
To meet our objectives we organise meetings to form joint views and to make significant and effective representations to Burford Town Council and West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC).
