  • Old Headington Conservation Area Appraisal
    Report of Public Consultation on the Conservation Area Appraisal for Headington Hill Conservation Area Summary 1.0 Following public consultation between 26th June and 24th July the draft conservation area appraisal has been amended to take account of representations received. Preparation of the Appraisal 2.0 Assessment of the Conservation Area was undertaken with the assistance of Pullens Lane Association, Harberton Mead Residents Association, Jack Straws Lane Association, Headington Hill Residents Association, New Marston (South) Residents Association, the Marston Wildlife Group and Oxfordshire County Council Highways Department. In September and October 2011 local residents used the Oxford Character Assessment Toolkit to assess the contribution of their streets to the significance of the conservation area. These were used by the Conservation Officer to prepare Street Character Statements, which form a part of the appraisal. This provides an additional level of data gathering beyond the capacity available with the Council’s resources and is best practice recognised in English Heritage’s Guidance on the Designation, Appraisal and Management of Conservation Areas (published in 2011). The authors were also supported by a number of independent members of the public and the ward councillors. 3.0 Relevant extracts of the consultation draft were circulated to the City Council’s Planning Policy, Development Control, Parks and Leisure and Estates Departments. Public Consultation on the Draft Appraisal 4.0 The public consultation was advertised via the City Council’s website, and on community websites. Stakeholder Groups, including the residents’ associations and businesses located in the Conservation Area, including Oxford Brookes University, Rye St Antony School, Scholarship & Christianity in Oxford, EF Education First and Headington School were notified of the consultation by email.

  • Bury Knowle House in Context: Its History, Design, and Architecture
    Bury Knowle House in Context: its History, Design, and Architecture Rhona Walker SUMMARY The period between the late 1700s and late 1800s was marked by the construction of a considerable number of small country houses or villas in and around the village of Headington, east of the city of Oxford. Built as private residences by men of commerce or those associated with the university, many of these have subsequently been turned to other uses. Bury Knowle House provides an example of this, having been built at the start of the nineteenth century by Joseph Lock, twice mayor of Oxford, and having been in public ownership since the 1930s. Its internal and external architecture strongly reflects fashionable design of the period of its construction, as well as changing social and economic criteria since then. Set within what is now a public park, the house and its outbuildings provide a valuable insight into the world of the newly emerging middle class of the nineteenth century, who used architectural ostentation to advertise their position within the local community. ury Knowle House was built about 1800 in Headington, then a village some three miles east of Bthe city of Oxford, for a prominent Oxford businessman, Joseph Lock. Having gone through various changes of private ownership, as did other similar grand houses within the area, Bury Knowle and its parkland retain a significant place within the community of Headington, now a busy Oxford suburb. Since 1930 they have belonged to the City of Oxford. Part of the house serves as the local library, and the pleasure grounds are a public park.

    Consultation with Stakeholders on preliminary design – Pullens Lane to Wharton Road Organisations represented on Key Stakeholder Group City of Oxford Licensed Taxi Association Friends of Old Headington Headington Committee for Development Action (HCDA) – 3 representatives Oxford Brookes University Cyclox CTC (Cyclists Touring Club) Bus Users Uk Stagecoach in Oxfordshire The Oxford Bus Company Oxford Civic Society Oxfordshire County Council Disability Equality Advisors St Andrew’s School, London Road Headington School The manor Hospital Oxford City Council North East Area Committee – 3 local councillors and the area co-ordinator Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Trust Oxfordshire County Council – 4 local ward councillors Changes to the preliminary design made as a result of the key stakeholder consultation • The bus lay-bys just east of Pullens Lane were changed from full width to two thirds width in recognition of the fact that it is easier for buses and coaches to emerge from the latter type of lay-by more easily • Keep clear markings were added in the new lay-by on the northern side of the road to help ensure that the works entrance to Headington School is accessible at all times • The start of the bus lane east of Gipsy lane was brought back as close as it could go to the junction to increase the benefits for buses. At the end of the bus lane west of Headley Way, a traffic island and road markings were added to ensure that left turning general traffic would not encroach on the bus lane and erode its benefits. The markings in the left hand lane have also been improved to clarify the arrangements (left turn and buses only) • The new Pelican crossing outside Headington School was moved slightly to the west to allow the bus stop (for local buses only) to remain where it is rather than moving it to a position directly outside the front of the School • The sections of shared use pavement for cyclists and pedestrians previously shown as being shared (i.e.
