What a mess – unapproved development in Horton?

Posted on October 31, 2026October 31, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

The plot of land in Horton – South-East of the road junction where the Horton, Datchet and Welley Roads converge at the mini-roundabout – there used to be horses in a grassy field edged with mature Poplar trees.   The area is known locally as Welley Corner but the field itself now has all the attributes of a waste handling and burning site.  Not content with destroying the field and the trees – the Welley Road public footpath and highway verge are now at risk.  On the last occasion some years ago RBWM installed bollards but this time I think we need some nice heavy concrete blocks.  Thank you to ____ for the image – and all complaints to RBWM please.

HORTON

The village name "Horton" is a common one in England. It is Old English in origin and derives from the two words horu 'dirt' and tūn 'settlement, farm, estate', presumably meaning 'farm on muddy soil'.In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Hortune.

WRAYSBURY

The village name was traditionally spelt Wyrardisbury; it is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'Wïgrǣd's fort'. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wirecesberie and as Wiredesbur in 1195. The name is seen again as Wyrardesbury in 1422.
