Developers free to build ‘unopposed’ (From Oxford Mail)

Developers free to build ‘unopposed’ (From Oxford Mail)

DEVELOPERS will be able to put up buildings unopposed because Oxford City Council will no longer tell residents through letters, it has been warned.

Due to costs the council will stop sending out letters to let residents know of planning applications near their home.

It sent out 17,753 last year about applications such as extensions and developments. Letters will stop from April, saving the cash-strapped council £45,000 a year.

The council said applications would still be flagged up by public notices and on its website.
