Warneford Hospital In February an evaluation trench was excavated by John Moore Heritage Services on land to the south of Warneford Hospital. The trench was required in advance of a hospital extension because of the potential Roman remains in this area, no significant archaeological remains were noted Old Road Campus Plot B1 In February trial trenching was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology prior to the construction of new University buildings at Old Road Campus. The work was required because of the general potential for prehistoric and Roman remains in this location. No significant archaeological deposits were noted.

    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.

    The Jenner Institute Laboratories University of Oxford Old Road Campus Research Building Roosevelt Drive Oxford OX3 7DQ 1st May 2020 Dear Prof Gilbert, Thank you for the research of critical global importance which you and your team have undertaken into a potential vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As patients and the families of people affected by COVID19, health workers, and public health and social justice campaigners, we are now writing this open letter to you with urgent questions about the licence agreement with Astra Zeneca announced yesterday. We believe that there should be no monopolies in the time of a pandemic - and they should never prevent patients getting affordable access to important diagnostics, medicines or vaccines. We kindly ask that you please respond to the following points: 1. Please make the full terms of the licence agreement with Astra Zeneca public, as has been normalised through the global public health standards set by the Medicines Patent Pool. 2. Can you please provide information on the patents related to the ChAdOx technologies, such as PCT application numbers and information about patent applications at national patent offices and the EPO? 3. Can you please confirm what safeguards have been included in the agreement to guarantee access and affordability for the NHS and for the billions across the world whose lives and livelihoods are threatened? 4. Can you assure us that the agreement with Astra Zeneca is a non-exclusive licence and that it will allow other manufacturers to make and supply quality-assured versions of the vaccine? 5. What efforts have been made to ensure non-patent based monopoly protections, such as regulatory exclusivities, are not enforced on this vaccine? 6.
