Three members from Brightwell-cum-Sotwell Parish Council addressed the floor. First to speak, Sue Robertson (Chair) raised concerned over the response they received from SODC with regards to Community Governance Review undertaken by Wallingford Town Council to adopt the land (Site A) adjacent to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell. Second to speak, Helen Baines (Vice Chair) expressed their lack of understanding as to why Wallingford Town Council didn’t converse with Brightwell-cum-Sotwell prior to putting this recommendation forward and it being resolved at Full Council. It was felt as a neighbouring village, Wallingford Town Council should have had at least a conversation explaining why the remainder of Site A should be moved into the Wallingford boundary prior to the request being put forward to SODC. Last to speak, Jason Debney (Councillor) – who sent a letter directly to Miss Taylor-Town Clerk/RFO Wallingford Town Council, of which a copy was circulated prior to the meeting to all members of the Planning Committee, outlining the criteria set out in the application. It was felt Wallingford Town Council’s application didn’t follow or meet the criteria or take into account the associations the land has with Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and not Wallingford, and the implications on the land (site A) in the future in respect to possible development if it was to be adopted by the Town Council. Brightwell-cum-Sotwell asked Wallingford Town Council to reconsider and to object to their own proposal to SODC to ensure this adoption didn’t go ahead
