  • Cherwell District Council Climate Strategy
    2020 Climate Action B3 BODICOTE Framework ll ero carbon rwe agile working ng che mi Sharing sfor d an ecte tr Conn bike repair 1 Taking climate action 2020 has been a year of huge change, with the global COVID-19 pandemic affecting all aspects of society. However, it has not changed the need for action on the climate emergency. The key message is clear: we need to take urgent action to limit the global rise in temperature to below 1.50C and to avoid the devastating impacts a further rise will provoke. This document provides the framework for our local actions here in Cherwell. There are huge challenges to our ambitions. The scope of our goals for the district are in advance of national and regional policy and they will need to be matched by solid leadership from central government and significant changes across our communities. Technological, societal and economic conditions within the next decade will provide opportunities which we will need to realise and challenges we will need to overcome, whilst fully recognising that we have to do things differently and faster. Cherwell is well placed to lead on this agenda. Many innovative projects and programmes have already been delivered in our district, such as the Eco Bicester initiative, which delivers new housing developments to a zero-carbon and much higher environmentally friendly standard, and which has been personally championed by many of us at Cherwell District Council. We look forward to working with residents and businesses across the district to achieve these goals. COVID has underlined the critical importance of the environment and provided us with a unique opportunity to look afresh at how we would like to live in the future.

  • Banbury Magistrates Court – Cherwell District Council Pre App Response
    CHERWELL DISTRICT COUNCIL Pre-Application Report Pre-application Reference No: 19/00033/PREAPP Proposal: Change of use and alterations/additions to create 37 new residential units Site Address: Magistrates Court, Warwick Road, Banbury, OX16 2AW Date of Site Visit & Meeting 7th March 2019 on site at 11:30 – 13:00 TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT Consultations CDC Building Control: “Insufficient information at this stage for any Building Control comments.” CDC Conservation: “Understanding the heritage assets affected The Magistrates Court is a non-designated heritage asset which lies within the Banbury Conservation Area. In the latest review of the conservation area the boundary was altered specifically to include the building. The building is representative of the historical development of police stations and local law courts with its transition from police station, to joint police and law use to sole use as a Magistrate’s Court. Significance General significance The building is of significance as a representative example of the development of the police and legal systems in the 20th Century. The details of the development of police stations and law court buildings are set out in Historic England’s designation guide for ‘Law and Government Buildings’. The building demonstrates a national phenomenon in a local context and is therefore of high significance within the context of Banbury. The Local Heritage Asset Assessment form for the building gave it a high score of 173 out of a total of 205 putting the building in Register Group A for Local Heritage Assets. Banbury Conservation Area appraisal states ‘Banbury Court House is one on its own in terms of buildings within the town’.
