  • Appeal Decision
    Appeal Decision Inquiry Held on 17 to 20 and 24 April 2018 Site visit made on 17 and 23 April 2018 by J Dowling BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 06 June 2018 Appeal Ref: APP/D3125/W/17/3182864 Land South East of Lancott Lane, Brighthampton, Oxfordshire The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission. The appeal is made by Spitfire Bespoke Homes Limited against the decision of West Oxfordshire District Council. The application Ref 17/00965/FUL, dated 22 March 2017, was refused by notice dated 12 July 2017. The development proposed is full planning permission for residential development comprising 46 dwellings, together with access, landscaping and associated infrastructure. Decision 1. This appeal is dismissed. Procedural Matters 2. On the application form the site address is given as Land South of Abingdon Road, Standlake. However, when the application was registered, the Council referred to the site as ‘land south east of Lancott Lane, Brighthampton’. Given the length of the Abingdon Road I consider that this address more accurately identifies the location of the site and therefore I have used this in my banner heading. 3. Prior to the start of the Inquiry the Council confirmed that in the second reason for refusal they had erroneously referred to policy BE5 of the West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011(the LP). This policy deals with development in conservation areas and as the site is not within a conservation area I agree it is not relevant and have therefore not considered it when reaching my decision.

  • Oxfordshire (Pdf)
    OXFORDSHIRE Oxfordshire lies to the north-west of London. It is bordered to the south by Berkshire, to the west by Gloucestershire, to the north by Warwickshire and Northamptonshire, and to the east by Buckinghamshire. In 1974 parts of Berkshire were transferred to Oxfordshire, which is why the modern county as illustrated on the left is slightly larger than the one on the right. The major town is Oxford, where jurisdiction over weights and measures was in the hands of the University from medieval times, and was not formally transferred to the Corporation until 1868. The other Ancient Boroughs were Banbury, Chipping Norton, Henley, and Woodstock. All were active in the business of inspecting weights and measures, although Chipping Norton effectively handed over to the county in 1858, and Henley and Woodstock seem to have done very little. After the Act of 1878, only Oxford and Banbury continued to operate as Weights and Measures Authorities. The county itself was rather slow to obtain the new Imperial Standards, and there were several changes to the arrangements for inspection before the police force was set up in 1857. As in some of the nearby counties, the work of regulating weights and measures seems to have been entrusted traditionally to local ironmongers, whitesmiths and braziers, until a specialist scale maker, Gale and Son, appeared in Oxford in 1850. In the 20th century there was a long- running competition between Avery and the local firm of Kirk & Co, which ended, inevitably, in victory for Avery in 1936. A: Inspection by the County of OXFORDSHIRE Dates Events Marks Comments 1830 One set of standards [431] verified.

  • Economy & Business Snapshot
    EconomyEconomy & Business & Business Snapshot –Snapshot Hampshire, Surrey, – November Oxfordshire, 2013Enterprise M3 and Coast to Capital (cont’d) Summary The provisional estimate of sub-regional Gross Value Added (GVA) shows that Surrey was the fastest growing sub-regional economy in the UK last year (out of 139 NUTS3 sub-regional economies). Portsmouth had the third fastest growth in nominal output in the South East (up 5.7 per cent compared to 8.1 per cent in Surrey) and the South East had three sub-regional economies in the top five fastest growing sub-regional economies in the country (Surrey, Medway and Portsmouth). The economy of the Hampshire County Council area expanded by 3.3 per cent (ranked 32nd fastest growing sub-regional economy last year), Oxfordshire expanded by 2.8 per cent (42nd) and West Sussex expanded by 3.2 per cent (34th). The pace of growth in Berkshire, Southampton, Buckinghamshire and Kent was below the UK average. Estimates of GVA and GVA per head are not available at Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP) level. However, given the exceptionally strong growth in Surrey and above the average growth in Hampshire it is likely that Enterprise M3 expanded by at least 5.6 per cent, faster than most if not all LEPs in the country. After Milton Keynes Oxfordshire had the fastest growth in nominal GVA in the South East between 2007 and 2012 (up 16 per cent). The performance of Hampshire and Surrey was similar, up 13.4 per cent and 13 per cent respectively. Sub-regional growth across much of the South East was strong last year according to the latest data but preliminary results are often subject to significant revisions and have to be treated with a degree of caution.

  • The New Burford VIC
    news ISSUE 23 www.oxfordshirecotswolds.org SEPTEMBER 2011 The new Burford VIC On August 16, Burford Visitor Information Centre (VIC) opened in its new home at 33a High Street; on time and within budget. The facilities are within the former toilet building, which has been divided into two separate units to provide space for both the new toilets and the VIC. Previously sited in Sheep Street, the relocation has allowed the VIC to move to a more prominent and accessible location directly opposite the coach parking. The new facilities were officially opened by the Chairman of West Oxfordshire District Council, Cllr Derek Cotterill, who lives in the town and is a local ward member. The opening can be viewed on Oxbox TV (www.oxbox.tv/showvideo.php?video=5508133). Cllr Cotterill said:“The Council has wanted to develop this site for some time and it gives me great pleasure to officially open the new VIC and toilets. The VIC is now ideally situated near to the coach park and public car park and will do a great job of serving tourists in this popular town.” Cllr Richard Langridge, Cabinet Member for Local Economy and Communities, said: “Thousands of tourists and visitors come to Burford each year and the VIC plays a very important role in helping people to find out about the local area. I am sure that the VIC’s new location at the heart of Burford will only add to it’s already impressive record of helping our visitors get the most from their experience of this wonderful town and District.” In the first four weeks of opening footfall has more than doubled from the corresponding period last year.

  • 19. Carterton Area Strategy
    Oxfordshire Local Transport Plan 3 2011-2030 Updated May 2014 _____________________________________________________________________ 19. Carterton Area Strategy 1. Carterton, the second largest settlement in West Oxfordshire, is a relatively modern town which has grown, in the main, to serve RAF Brize Norton. Carterton has a small but varied economy, largely focused around the provision of local services. Carterton has been identified as a growth area by West Oxfordshire District Council, and has opportunities for both residential and employment growth. 2. The role of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) within Carterton is very strong with many local people associated with RAF Brize Norton. The MOD seeks to strengthen the strategic importance of RAF Brize Norton, as the largest RAF base in the country and significant increases in both military operations and personnel are expected in the next few years due to Programme Gateway – the RAF’s plan for future growth. 3. West Oxfordshire’s Draft Local Plan 2012 identiified that within the Carterton sub-area there will be around 1,850 new homes by 2029, including Strategic Development areas to the east of Carterton (700 homes) and 400 homes at REEMA North and Central (current military personnel housing areas). The draft Local Plan also seeks to deliver a more attractive and vibrant town centre. 4.
