A massive migrant camp given the green light close to an Oxfordshire village does pose a risk to women and girls, while police chiefs fear there could also be increased crime, Government documents show.

Housing Minister Angela Rayner has approved the controversial camp at MoD Bicester despite the nearby village of Piddington symbolically voting to leave the UK in protest.

Now a newly-published planning document has revealed security measures at the camp - which will house 1,256 single male migrants - 'cannot eliminate all risk' to villagers.

Residents have been protesting for months that the plans are 'completely inappropriate' and would 'overwhelm' Piddington, which is home to just 350 residents, including 46 children.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch yesterday described the plans as a 'betrayal of the women of Piddington' and 'emblematic of Labour's disregard for the law and women and girls' safety'.

In a social media post, she wrote: 'When I visited Piddington I met a village terrified of what was about to land on their doorstep. The Government said it was listening, instead it's completely ignored this community's concerns.'

Some 3,177 individuals and organisations lodged objections against the scheme. Only one supported it.

According to the planning approval document, officials had 'considered effects on neighbouring communities, including concerns about the safety of women and girls, perceptions of safety, community cohesion, policing demand and protest activity.'
