Banbury Fringe Walk Banbury Fringe Circular Walk Getting there As its name suggests, the Banbury Fringe Circular Walk will take you on a ramble right around the urban fringe, where town meets countryside. Look in one direction and you can see the bustling market town of Banbury, look the other way and you can enjoy the beauty and diversity of its rural setting. From its start in the town centre you can set out for the full 10 mile walk. However, if you would prefer a more manageable ramble there are shorter options to enjoy, going from and returning to one of the alternative starting points using the main roads of Banbury. The shorter options include – Town Centre/Spiceball Park Banbury to Bodicote along the canal towpath (2.75 miles/4.5 km); Bodicote to Giant’s Cave - through the village and along Fringe walk the Salt Way (2.5 miles/4 km); Giant’s Cave to the Mineral Railway Path through fields, woodlands and along a farm track (2.5 miles/4 km); and Mineral Railway Path to Town Centre/Spiceball Park including a stretch of the canal towpath (2.25 miles/3.6 km). You are advised to wear stout, waterproof footwear as walking in the countryside can be muddy and wet, even in the summer months. The route is clearly waymarked in a clockwise direction along its full length but it helps to follow the information in this leaflet as you go. Please take great care when crossing the busy roads.

Site Description and Proposed Development 1.1 The application was deferred from last month’s meeting to allow for the current focussed consultation exercise to be completed which allowed for representations to be received by 23 rd May 2013 (consultation expiry date). The consultation period has now closed and the representations that have been received will be reported to the Executive in due course. Although these comments are presently unresolved, for the purposes of considering this current application, the Council has a continuing obligation to determine planning applications as and when submitted, on the basis of existing policy and other material considerations. Therefore it cannot, in effect, create a hiatus in determining planning applications pending the examination of its emerging local plan. 1.2 The application relates to a site that has been identified for residential development in the Proposed Submission Local Plan Incorporating Proposed Changes (March 2013) (PSLPIPC). The site as a whole covers an area of some 20.2ha and forms the greater part of the approx 26ha allocated site to the north of Dukes Meadow Drive and to the east of Warwick Road.

  • Treasure Houses of Southern England
    Treasure Houses of Southern England Behind the Scenes of the Stately Homes of England May 3rd - 12th 2020 We are pleased to present the first in a two-part series that delves into the tales and traditions of the English aristocracy in the 20th century. The English class system really exists nowhere else in the world, mainly because England has never had the kind of violent social revolution that has taken away the ownership of the land from the families that have ruled it since medieval times. Vast areas of the country are still owned by families that can trace their heritage back to the Norman knights who accompanied William the Conqueror. Here is our invitation to discover how this system has come Blenheim Palace about and to experience the fabulous legacy that it has bequeathed to the nation. We have included a fascinating array of visits, to houses both great and small, private and public, spanning the centuries from the Norman invasion to the Victorian era. This spring, join Discover Europe, and like-minded friends, for a look behind the scenes of Treasure Houses of Southern England. The cost of this itinerary, per person, double occupancy is: Land only (no airfare included): $4980 Single supplement: $ 960 Airfares are available from many U.S. cities. Please call for details. The following services are included: Hotels: 8 nights’ accommodation in first-class hotels including all hotel taxes and service charges Coaching: All ground transportation as detailed in the itinerary Meals: Full breakfast daily, 4 dinners Guides: Discover Europe tour guide throughout Baggage: Porterage of one large suitcase per person Entrances: Entrance fees to all sites included in the itinerary, including private tours of Waddesdon Manor, Blenheim Palace and Stonor Park (all subject to final availability) Ightham Mote House Please note that travel insurance is not included on this tour.

    Banbury Vision & Masterplan Consultation Statement November 2016 CONSULTATION STATEMENT BANBURY MASTERPLAN & VISION SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT Prepared under Regulation 12(a) of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 1. Purpose and background 1.1 This Consultation Statement has been prepared in line with Regulation 12(a) of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, which states that, before a council adopts a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), it must produce a statement setting out: i. The persons the local planning authority consulted when preparing the supplementary planning document; ii. A summary of the main issues raised by those persons; and iii. How those issues have been addressed in the supplementary planning document. 1.2 The Banbury Vision & Masterplan was prepared in accordance with the Council's Statement of Community Involvement (2006), which was updated in July 2016. This can be viewed on the Council’s website at: http://www.cherwell.gov.uk/ index.cfm?articleid=9648. 1.3 Legislation and guidance sets out the requirements for preparing SPDs as part of the planning system. This enables SPDs to be prepared to expand upon existing planning policy. The adopted Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 together with the Banbury Vision & Masterplan establishes the long-term vision for the town and identifies the projects and initiatives to support growth. The SPD will contribute towards the delivery of the Cherwell Local Plan. 1.4 The Banbury Vision & Masterplan SPD is formed from six inter-connecting strategic objectives that will: i.
