Epwell/Sibford Gower boundary review - EPSG

We have been asked by Epwell Parish Council to consider changing where the parish boundary sits between Epwell and Sibford Gower.

Epwell Parish Council have requested that the boundary be moved so that an area of woodland and some fields, shown on the map marked by the letter M, become part of Epwell Parish. The Parish Council feel that this area impacts on the Epwell, and they would like it to be part of their parish.   

Where would the boundary be moved to?

Parish boundaries have to be easy to identify, so that everyone knows where they are. They usually follow a feature such as a road, rivers or railways, or areas that provide a natural break between communities, like a park or recreation ground. 

In this case, Epwell Parish Council have requested that the boundary follow the line of the road to the left of the area of woodland, and then follow the drive that leads to Chilaway Farm. Chilaway Farm itself would remain in Sibford Gower parish.
