Cholsey: 'Bellway' Residential Development - proposed 20mph speed limit

We're asking for your views on the proposals to formalise the existing 20mph speed limit within the ‘Bellway’ residential estate at the north-eastern end of Cholsey south of Wallingford Road. The proposals supersede those that were originally proposed in 2021, and which have been subsequently absorbed by the introduction of the parish-wide 20mph speed limit introduced in May 2025, and will cover all roads within the estate, leading out to East End’s junction with Wallingford Road.

The proposal will help promote road safety for all road users within the estate, and will also ensure adherence to the Councils policy that all new residential developments should see a lower speed limit as standard.

Have your say.

Please read the detailed information provided on this consultation and take the time to complete the survey as your views and opinions matter. Your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 17 October 2025.

Whilst we will endeavour to answer simple queries during the course of the consultation, any more complex questions/issues will be appraised and dealt with as part of consultation process.

What happens next?

The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for later in 2025. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports for meetings will be made available on the Oxfordshire County Council web site about a week before the meeting (please note that occasionally it is necessary to defer reports to a later meeting, and it is therefore advisable to check the agenda ahead of attending a meeting).
