Information on planning applications, appeals and decisions affecting Hanwell.

New Cherwell Local Plan
The new Draft Local Plan was published by Cherwell District Council in August 2012.  Click here for more information.  No new development is suggested for Hanwell village itself.  The bad news for Hanwell is that once again there is a strong possibility of a large number of houses being built north of Hanwell Fields, bringing the town another step closer.

Better Broadband for Hanwell
Oxfordshire County Council knows that faster and more reliable broadband is essential for people who live and work in the county. This is why they are investing £13.86 million into a project that will improve broadband across Oxfordshire.

As more and more people work from home and use the internet on a day to day basis, a faster and more reliable service is in the interest of everyone. To find out more please visit: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/

Built using mainly wood, the playground is based on a castle theme 'in keeping' with its village location.
