Views ranged from noting that the meeting was filmed already and the outcome was placed on the Council’s website, through concern that private filming could result in extracts of that exercise being edited and used out of context to the view that council meetings should generally be fully opened to public scrutiny. The Lord Mayor noted that the request to film has only that day been received and the matter had not been discussed by the political groups.

    Agenda Item 5 West Area Planning Committee 13th June 2017 Application Number: 17/00250/FUL Decision Due by: 24th May 2017 Proposal: Alterations for the continued use of the buildings as student accommodation comprising: External alterations to elevations and roofs of the existing buildings; tree planting (including containers and supporting structures); alterations to, and landscaping of the courtyards; new cycle stores; alterations to existing lighting; and the formation of pedestrian pathways on the east side of Blocks 5 and 8 and the three gatehouses. Site Address: Castle Mill, Roger Dudman Way (site plan: appendix 1) Ward: Jericho And Osney Ward Agent: Mr Nik Lyzba Applicant: Chancellor, Masters And Scholars Of The University Of Oxford Recommendation: The West Area Planning Committee are recommended to grant planning permission for the following reasons Reasons for Approval 1 It is considered that the proposed design mitigation strategy for the existing buildings will, on balance, provide some mitigation for the harm that has been caused to the significance, in particular to the settings of a number of high value heritage assets. The Environmental Statement has assessed the strategy in respect of the landscape and visual impacts, historic environmental impacts, and impacts on ecology and nature conservation and considers that there will be some beneficial effects from the measures on these matters. Similarly it is not considered to give rise to any impacts with respect to highway matters, land contamination, air quality, and archaeology and any such matters could be addressed by appropriately worded planning conditions. The proposal is considered to be acceptable in terms of the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, and relevant policies of the Oxford Core Strategy 2026, Sites and Housing Plan 2011-2026, and Oxford Local Plan 2001-2016 REPORT 13 2 In considering the application, officers have had specific regard to the comments of third parties and statutory bodies in relation to the application.

  • 4 Vegetation Dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow
    4 Vegetation dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow Port Meadow (132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (39 ha) (the Meadow) are adjacent commons lying on the River Thames flood-plain within Oxford City boundary (Map 2.5). They have been grazed since at least the Bronze Age and have never been ploughed. Shiplake Ditch forms the boundary between Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common. The common land and Hook Meadow form part of a larger Site of Special Scientific Interest first notified in 1952 and re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The Nature Conservancy Council’s citation (1983) states that the history of ecological interest in the Meadow was taken into account so the SSSI should be extended to the whole of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common, with the exception of the Wolvercote allotment gardens. The Meadow is also important as a gene bank of species, particularly well adapted to heavy grazing, which have already been fundamental in the development of agricultural leys (McDonald forthcoming). In 2004, Port Meadow was confirmed as a Special Area of Conservation under European Union legislation because of the presence of Apium repens. The whole was registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1993 because there are the remains of six Bronze Age burials and three Iron Age settlement sites and field systems on the commons (Map 4.1). Both commons are owned or held in Trust by Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act 1965. Under the same Act, the Freemen of Oxford and the Wolvercote Commoners registered grazing rights for 1,365 horses, 1,890 cattle, 6 donkeys, 48 ducks and 1,192 geese.

  • Bibliography Sources for Further Reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography
    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’). Locating copies of books, journals or specific articles Most of the books, and some journals and magazines, can of course be found in any good library. For access to rarer titles a visit to one of the country’s copyright libraries may be necessary.

  • Oxford Heritage Walks Book 4
    Oxford Heritage Walks Book 4 On foot from Paradise Square to Sheepwash by Malcolm Graham (illustrated by Edith Gollnast, cartography by Alun Jones) Chapter One – Paradise Street to Osney Abbey The walk begins in Paradise Street, beside St George’s Tower and the Castle Mill Stream, a branch of the river Thames that brings nature into the very heart of the city. You are standing just outside Oxford Castle, a motte and bailey castle built by Robert d’Oilly in 1071 just five years after the Norman Conquest. The castle was used as a gaol as early as the 12th century, and prisoners continued to be held in the later County Gaol and HM Prison until 1996. You are also outside the West Gate of medieval Oxford which stood further along Paradise Street near the junction with Castle Street until the early 17th century. Paradise Street, and the nearby Paradise Square, are named after the Paradise garden of the Greyfriars, a large religious house which became established in St Ebbe’s during the 13th century. St George’s Tower, massively built of rubble stone, is traditionally dated to the establishment of St George’s in the Castle in 10741 and regarded as an integral part of the Norman castle. The tower sits uncomfortably close to the mound, however, and might have been built before 1066 as a watchtower guarding the western approach to Oxford.2 If this theory is accepted, the tower is the greatest secular stone building surviving from pre-Conquest England. It is in any case a remarkable defensive structure, rising in four slightly receding stages with a later diagonally set staircase in one corner.

  • UNIVERSITY of OXFORD CASTLE MILL GRADUATE ACCOMMODATION Planning Application Reference 11/02881/FUL Environmental Statement
    UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD CASTLE MILL GRADUATE ACCOMMODATION Planning application reference 11/02881/FUL Environmental Statement* Non Technical Summary October 2014 * This Environmental Statement has been prepared voluntarily by the University of Oxford, and is submitted to Oxford City Council, to replicate the requirements of the Town & Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011, as far as possible given that the assessment is retrospective. It will be subject to public consultation and will be considered by Oxford City Council in its future decisions in relation to the development. Port Meadow 1. Introduction Planning permission was granted in February 2012 for the development of graduate student residential accommodation at Castle Mill on former railway land on Roger Dudman Way, Oxford, in the form of study rooms and fl ats in 8 blocks on 4 and 5 levels. An Environmental Statement (‘ES’) for the Castle Mill development has now been submitted voluntarily on behalf of the University of Oxford to Oxford City Council to replicate the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 as far as possible, given that the planning permission has already been granted, the site has been developed in full, and the assessment is retrospective. This is the non- technical summary of the ES. Oxford City Council as local planning authority decided in November 2011 and October 2013 that the development was not likely to have signifi cant effects on the environment and so did not require EIA. However, after an Oxford City Council resolution in February 2013, the University offered to prepare a full Environmental Statement, by letter in July 2013, and repeated this commitment during the hearing into CPRE Oxfordshire’s unsuccessful judicial review.

DCLG Coding of Development Types from April 2008 (extract) 202 1 FOREWORD In February 2012 Oxford City Council approved a proposal by the University of Oxford for post-graduate student accommodation at Castle Mill, Roger Dudman Way. In December 2012 a Petition was submitted to the Council expressing the widespread concern about the environmental impacts of the development. As a result the Council set up a Working Party to consider whether the planning processes associated with the Roger Dudman Way application complied with statutory and national policy requirements, and how they related to best practice. This Working Party is cross-party and includes representatives of key civic organisations. As part of its considerations an independent review has been undertaken of the processes involved. Great weight has been placed in the review process upon engaging with all sectors of the planning community in Oxford (including civic and community groups, the universities and public bodies).
