Who would build houses on 'The most contaminated site in the UK' ?

The developer Dorchester Living currently have a live planning submission to build 9.000 houses on the Air field. After growing pressure from authorities and campaign groups, Dorchester Living commissioned a selection of on-site PFAS tests. 

In one test site they found 4,052.05 µg/kg PFOS (312 times higher than the residential criteria of 13 µg/kg) You can read the whole report here.

'Site investigations have now confirmed unaccepatble levels of PFAS in soil, with ground and surface water sample also exceeding acceptable levels' Gemma Hill BBC Oxford  

The developer's own consultants reported that  "The results demonstrate that elevated PFAS are present within the surface soils within the sampled areas at concentrations which are unacceptable when compared to residential criteria."

PFAS chemicals bio-accumulate and can become hazardous in humans. Children are especially vulnerable to PFAS exposure and long-term exposure can cause serious health risks.
Plans have already been approved to build a primary school 390M away from the highly contaminated firepit. 

We are calling for a pause to all development until extensive testing has established a boundary for the spread of the PFAS plume, and until there is a clear remediation plan from Dorchester Living.  You cannot have a remediation plan for contamination which you don't know the edges of. This cannot be approved by Cherwell Council's planning officers, unless they understand the whole picture.
