Continuing use of performing animals fuel fears of animal cruelty at Britain’s proposed new theme park: Puy Du Fou at Bucknell Village
This is a matter for Oxfordshire and surrounding counties
Local residents are urged to make an objection (now extended to 5/9/2026) using the Cherwell District Council portal and searching for 25/02232/OUT
NORA is concerned that the cumulative impact of the numerous large-scale developments, proposed within a relatively small area of Cherwell, will be overwhelming. Projects including Puy du Fou, the Strategic Rail Interchange, Hawkwell Village, the continued expansion of housing at Heyford, and the Tritax and Albion warehouse developments together represent an unprecedented level of change to our local communities, countryside, infrastructure and environment.

This isn’t about being “anti-development”. It’s about making sure development is deliverable, properly resourced, and doesn’t overwhelm communities.
Our campaigning is already making a difference. Proposals for a new town and mega-warehouses in North Oxfordshire have, so far, been rejected (coming to appeal in September). Planning authorities are beginning to take notice of this call for the combined impact of multiple development proposals to be considered together, rather than in isolation. This proves that your voice really can make a difference.
Please share this information with others — especially people in areas facing multiple developments.
