Grove: Airfield Development - proposed 20mph speed limit

Following on from a previous consultation carried out in June 2024 on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit on the new roads within the ‘’Grove Airfield’ residential development leading out to the junctions with Arnold Way & Douglas Drive (details here) - it is now proposed to introduce the 20mph speed limit on all roads within the wider ‘Grove Airfield’ residential development.

These proposals incorporate & supersede those that were advertised for a smaller section of the new estate in June 2024, but do not impact the proposed one-way restriction which was also promoted then, and will help promote road safety for all road users within the estate and will 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 11 July 2025.

Whilst we will endeavor 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).
