TWO villages are bracing themselves for a second legal battle over plans for 110 homes on farmland near Henley. A High Court judge has quashed a planning inspector’s decision to forbid the development at Thames Farm, between Shiplake and Harpsden. Claire Engbers, who owns the 15-acre site off Reading Road, may now launch a fresh appeal.

AT 560lb Tim Saint’s personal best, prize-winning pumpkin was always likely to turn heads. But the Playhatch gardener attracted the attention of the police after scooping the heaviest pumpkin and best in show prizes at the Malvern Autumn Show. Officers spotted the giant orange squash and they pulled him over to take pictures to post on Twitter.
