  • Relevant Development Plan and Other Policies)
    PN8 PLANNING & REGULATION COMMITTEE – 8 MARCH 2021 Policy Annex (Relevant Development Plan and other Policies) West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031 (WOLP): POLICY OS1: PRESUMPTION IN FAVOUR OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Planning applications that accord with the policies in this Local Plan (and, where relevant, with policies in Neighbourhood Plans) will be approved, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Where there are no policies relevant to the application or relevant policies are out of date at the time of making the decision then the Council will grant permission unless material considerations indicate otherwise – taking into account whether: Any adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole; or Specific policies in that Framework indicate that development should be restricted. POLICY OS2: LOCATING DEVELOPMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACES Main service centres, rural service centres and villages A significant proportion of new homes, jobs and supporting services will be focussed within and on the edge of the main service centres of Witney, Carterton and Chipping Norton. A number of site allocations are proposed to ensure identified needs are met. The distribution of development is set out in Policy H1. Due to the size of the settlement and its proximity and connections to Oxford City, Eynsham will also make a significant contribution towards meeting the identified housing needs of the District and Oxford City with a strategic urban extension to be provided to the west of the village. A new rural service centre – Oxfordshire Cotswold Garden Village – will be created to the north of Eynsham and contribute towards Oxford City’s needs.

  • Excavations at Callow Hill, Glympton and Stonesfield, Oxon
    Excavations at Callow H ill, Glympton and Stonesfield, Oxon. By NICHOLAS THOMAS INTRODUCTION HE excavations described in this report were carried out by the Oxford University Archaeological Society in order to throw new light on the problemsT posed by the group of Roman villas that lies in the area defined by the north Oxfordshire Grim's Dyke. It was agreed that this could best be done by investigating the ditch which enclosed one of these villas-Callow Hill, 3! miles NW of Woodstock ( ational Grid: 42/40919s)-and the prominent earthworks immediately to the east of it. These earthworks appeared to have much in common with Grim's Dyke itself, which runs through Blenheim Park about one mile farther towards Woodstock. It was hoped that it would be possible to deduce some relationship, either chrono­ logical or political, between the villa at Callow Hill-and hence, to some extent, between the other villas hereabouts-and Grim's Dyke. The work was carried out during the first three weeks of September, 1950, under my direction, assisted by Mr. Alan Hunter.' No previous research had been undertaken at Callow Hill. The site has long been known because of the amount of Romano-British building debris and potsherds which lie about on the surface. In 1916 a floor was found, l The excavations were made possible by a grant of £30 from the Research Fund of the Oxford University Archaeological Society. Sincere thanks arc due to His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, Col. Sir Charles Ponsonby 8t., Mr. and Mrs. E. Tomkins, and Mr.

    Charles I and the Perrots of Northleigh By MIss M. R. TOYNBEE DAY at Northleigh in the spring of 1944 brought vividly to my mind A the fact that the followingJune would see the three-hundredth anniversary of Charles I's famous night-march out of Oxford. It seemed to be an appro­ priate occasion for putting on record what is known of the !(jng's visit to the Perrot family at Northleigh en route for the West. Ever since I saw, at the Old Times Exhibition held at Oxford in April, 1937, the ring and the pendant given by him as mementoes to two daughters of the house, I had been anxious to investigate the story, to which I referred in the recent article by Mr. J. J. Leeming and myself on Cropredy Bridge.' The following pages are an attempt to set out the result of my researches. The only documentary evidence, so far as I am aware, for the orthleigh visit is a passage in the Royalist newspaper Mercurius Aulitus for' TIM 23 Wuke, ending June 8. 1644', under date 'TUESDAY. lulM 4 '. 'His Majestie having eaten and refreshed himselfe this morning, at Master Parret.r house in Northlye, where He drew up His Army, went forwards in the afternoone to Bourlon on Ihe Water ,. From Sir Edward Walker's account of the march' it appears that Charles reached Northleigh about nine o'clock on the morning of 4 June, some twelve hours after leaving Oxford. Having safely I OxonWr,sU" ru (1938), pp. 1!l9-30. Some account of the march and of the circunutanccs leading up to it will be found there .
