Of the original 28 trenches only 23 were excavated as a result of on-site logistical restrictions; however two additional trench locations were investigated. Despite the surrounding archaeological potential of the site, no archaeological features were recorded. Worked flint was recovered from the natural geology, subsoil and topsoil from Trenches 24, 27, 29, 31, 34, 35 and 36. Trenches 49 and 50 helped to further define the edge of the old quarry. Within Trench 27 a possible palaeo-channel was recorded, which will be further investigated during the forthcoming Palaeolithic mitigation programme. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology Highland’s Farm, Henley-Upon-Thames Oxford shire: Archaeological Evaluation 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In March 2017 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation for CgMs Consulting (acting on behalf of Crest Nicholson) at Highland’s Farm, Henley-Upon-Thames, Oxfordshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 7424 8133. 1.2 Planning application (P16/S0077/O) has been submitted for Reserved Matters (P17/S0024/RM) to South Oxford District Council (SODC), for the residential redevelopment of the site comprising: approval for appearance, landscaping, layout and scale following P16/S0077/O 'Outline planning application (all matters reserved except for access) for the phased development of the demolition of existing buildings and construction of up to 170 dwellings along with up to 2,000 m2 B1 employment space, a Community Hub, public open space, sustainable urban drainage, earthworks, structural planting, substations and associated infrastructure. A Heritage desk-based assessment (CA 2011) of the site was initially prepared in order to inform the development process. 1.3 The site has undergone a series of investigations to-date primarily focussed on the Palaeolithic potential of the site. Preliminary Phase 1 Palaeolithic test pits were recorded in November 2015 to provide a preliminary understanding of the site’s Palaeolithic potential south of the Scheduled Monument (CgMs/Cotswold Archaeology/Southampton University 2015). Following from this further evaluation Phase 2 Test Pits were undertaken in April 2016 (CgMs/Cotswold Archaeology/Southampton University 2016) to provide better definition of the Palaeolithic resource. During the Palaeolithic investigations no Holocene archaeological potential was identified. The current trial trench evaluation was designed at assessing the Holocene potential of the site within those parts of the site not previously quarried or currently occupied by existing buildings. The works were requested by the Planning Archaeologist of OCC, archaeological advisor to SODC and the HE advisor. 1.4 The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2017) and approved by Richard Oram, OCC Planning Archaeologist and advisor to SODC. The fieldwork also followed Standard 3 © Cotswold Archaeology Highland’s Farm, Henley-Upon-Thames Oxford shire: Archaeological Evaluation and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014). It was monitored by Ricard Oram, including site visits on 10th of March 2017. The site 1.7 The entire development measures approximately 7.3ha in area (NGR SU 7424 8133) and is located on the plateau of a spur of the Chiltern Hills about 2 km west of the River Thames. A belt of arable land separates the site from the urban conurbation of Henley-on-Thames. The site is a brownfield site on and around the old workings of a gravel extraction quarry. The quarry itself has been partially backfilled and lies at c.75m above Ordnance Datum (aOD). The surrounding hard standing and landscaped verges are slightly higher lying at c.76.6m aOD and occupied by brick buildings of the farm and old quarry, and wooden cabins. The topography dips sharply to the west along the western boundary otherwise it is fairly flat lying. 1.8 The British Geological Survey (BGS) map the site - Solid and Drift 50,00 sheet 254 for Henley-on-Thames - as lying on superficial deposits of the Black Park Gravel Member (BPGM) laid down in the Anglian stage of the Middle Pleistocene between 480,000-425,000 BP. The lithology of the gravel member is described as “Horizontally stratified, matrix-supported gravel with thin tabular cross-bedded sand channels. Gravel assemblage is characterised by abundant angular flint (75-89%), sparse rounded flint (3-9%), sparse vein quartz (4-10%) and sparse quartzite (1- 6%)” (BGS 2015). The thickness of the gravel is described to range from one to six metres with an average of three. The deposits at the site are attributed to Terrace 5 of the BGS sequence for the Thames valley in this area, and specifically the lowest/youngest sub-unit T5c the Black Park Gravel. 1.9 The outcrop under the site forms part of a stretch of Black Park Gravel filling a broadly south-west to north-east trending depression in the Solid Chalk bedrock, that stretches for about 10km between Caversham and Henley-on-Thames. It has been recognised since the late 19th century that this depression represents an early course of the Thames, known as the Caversham-Henley Ancient Channel. 1.10 The underlying bedrock is undifferentiated Chalk of the Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation, Seaford Formation and Newhaven Formation and form part of the White 4 © Cotswold Archaeology Highland’s Farm, Henley-Upon-Thames Oxford shire: Archaeological Evaluation Chalk Subgroup. These formations date from Turonian to Campanian Ages 93.9- 73.1 my BP of the Late Cretaceous Epoch (BGS 2015). 1.11 The BGS map the western extent of the BPGM running approximately parallel to the western margin of the entrance road onto the site. This corresponds to the dip in slope towards the western boundary caused by a re-entrant dry valley exposing the Chalk. Further west and off the site, the gravel continues on the far side of the bifurcated valley head. 2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 In 2011 Cotswold Archaeology produced a heritage desk-based assessment of the land at Highlands Farm, from which a summary is present below. The Palaeolithic potential of the site has been documented thoroughly in previous subsequent WSIs and as this phase of works has been targeted on the Holocene potential of the site the Palaeolithic background is not repeated. Mesolithic to the end of the Iron Age (10,000 – c. 800 BC) 2.2 Within the immediate environs of the site only a sole instance of activity from these periods has been recorded; a Bronze Age hammer head found approximately 350m to the north-east of the site. No associated settlement evidence was recovered with it. Roman (AD 43 – c. AD 410) 2.3 There is an important villa

  • 11J. SODC Portfolio Holder Report April 2018.Docx
    REPORT FOR: Councillor Felix Bloomfield CABINET MEMBER FOR PLANNING DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT (DM) REPORT FOR April 2018 1. CORPORATE Oxfordshire Housing and Growth Deal The terms of reference and Statement of Common Ground are being considered by a meeting of the joint scrutiny committee on 17 April. The production of the Statement of Common Ground was supported by involvement from the Planning Advisory Service and will be regularly updated through the duration of the JSSP. The Growth Deal team are talking to MHCLG about the practicalities and operation of a reduced housing delivery test alongside a 3 year housing land supply. More detail will emerge, but it is likely that this will need to be subject to local consultation prior to the publication of the final NPPF. Joint Statutory Spatial Plan (JSSP) for Oxfordshire (statutory) As part of the Housing and Growth Deal officers are starting to progress some background to the joint statutory spatial plan. An interim lead for the JSSP has been appointed – Rachel Williams will be taking on the project and is expected to take up this post in the next fortnight. 2. DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT Registration Number of applications is 111 (currently working to 3 day turnaround) Average number of applications received throughout March was 30.5 per day (up on January and February figures and in April an average of 34 per day is expected. There have been issues with staffing levels across the Registration/ Business Support – as a result of vacancies and sickness – we are trying to address this by amending working patterns and recruitment. 5YHLS update Our current Five Year Housing Land Supply (5YHLS) position was published in May 2017 and demonstrates that we have supply of 4.1 years.

  • Parish Report Feb 2020
    REPORT TO PARISH COUNCILS FEBRUARY 2020 FROM CLLR DAVID BARTHOLOMEW As per my note last month, I have changed the way I supply reports and I now send out my ‘General OCC Report’ to all parish councils at the beginning of the month. This is to ensure that parish councils that meet later in the month don’t receive out of date news. I will take questions on the report at PC meetings and then deliver my local report in the usual way. GENERAL OCC REPORT SPECIAL THIRD READING BRIDGE MEETING FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2020 At an informal joint meeting of parish councils from the southern part of Oxfordshire on 31st January 2020 to discuss the proposed Third Reading Bridge, the following resolution was overwhelmingly passed: a) In the context of the Climate Emergency a car-based solution to a car-based problem that would pour thousands of cars and HGVs into Oxfordshire is totally inappropriate and should a new bridge be built it should be restricted to public transport, cyclists and pedestrians; b) Notwithstanding the above, if a car-based solution is pursued, the proposed bridge and necessary mitigation measures (i.e. improvements to the Oxfordshire road network) are not considered as two separate projects, but as one single project in order that the benefits, disadvantages and costs of the complete scheme can be holistically assessed. I was asked to communicate this fact to the MP Bridge Summit meeting in March. Representatives from these parish councils attended: Binfield Heath, Eye & Dunsden, Harpsden, Highmoor, Ipsden, Kidmore End, Rotherfield Greys, Rotherfield Peppard, Shiplake, Sonning Common.

  • Minutes November 2017 Page 1
    East Hagbourne Parish Council Minutes of the Parish Council meeting duly convened and held on Thursday 2nd November 2017 1) Attendance, apologies, declarations of pecuniary interest and vacancies. Present were Chairman D. Rickeard, Vice Chair, I. Duff, C. Gover, D. Button, S. Beynon, J. Elliott In attendance A. Leigh (Clerk), members of the public D. Rickeard reported that Crispin Topping has resigned form the Parish Council, but will continue to serve as Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Steering Group. 2) Public Forum and Questions. Members of the public were in attendance to present the views of the Save St Hugh’s Rise campaign against planning application P17/S3798/O They oppose the development due to the following grounds: 1) Access to a development of this size (85+ houses) which they consider inadequate, as access is solely through St Hugh’s Rise, a cul de sac off St Hilda's Close, which itself is a branch off the Fleet Meadow loop road, called Sandringham Rd. St Hugh’s is a small cul-de-sac that contains 65 houses, resulting in many cars parking on the road itself. Additionally, St Hugh’s has narrowed pinch points, further restricting traffic flow. The proposed development could see an additional 150+ cars attempting to use this already over utilised access road. Construction traffic will be accessing the development through narrow residential roads and will be noisy, dangerous and inconvenient to residents. How would emergency services cope in the case of an emergency arising? St Hilda's Close and its tributary streets contains 105 + houses, all of which will have the same main access point back to Sandringham road.

  • Draft Minutes of the Ipsden Parish Council Meeting Held at Ipsden Memorial Hall on Wednesday 23 May 2018 at 6.00Pm
    Draft Minutes of the Ipsden Parish Council meeting held at Ipsden Memorial Hall on Wednesday 23 May 2018 at 6.00pm 1 Present: Action Members: Mr Nick Miller - NM (Chair), Mr John Jeffery - JJ, Mrs Wendy Clark – WC, Mrs Heather Llewellyn - HL Clerk: Mrs Amanda McCrea – AM SODC: Cllr David Nimmo-Smith - DNS Public: Mr David Coldwell, Mrs Sheena Coldwell, Mr Cliff Jordan (Braziers Park) 2 Apologies: None 3 Minutes of Previous Meeting The minutes of the previous meeting of 10 April 2018 were agreed and signed by the Chair. 4 SODC report: NM referred the meeting to Cllr Nimmo-Smith’s May report which includes news on the land supply figure, planning enforcement action and appeals, a Neighbourhood Plan update, waste and recycling, the community lottery, pet care enforcement, superfast broadband, Thames Valley Police advice and the South and Vale facebook page. (The full report can be found at the end of these minutes.) Cllr Nimmo-Smith was in attendance at the meeting and reported that the council now has a new leader, Jane Murphy, who has appointed a new cabinet. This has resulted in a reassessment of the Local Plan meaning that sites previously dismissed will now be reconsidered as potential sites for major housing development. There will be a public consultation later in the year prior to SODC being open to speculative developers next year. DNS stated that Ipsden, being in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, will not be considered as a potential site however parish council members pointed out that they would be keen to see some infill of a few houses to maintain a sustainable community in Ipsden.

    Land at 46 Lower Icknield Way Chinnor, OX39 4EB PLANNING STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF VANDERBILT HOMES Erection of 14 dwellings PREPARED BY DOUGLAS BOND BA (Hons) MRTPI WOOLF BOND PLANNING LLP CHARTERED TOWN PLANNING CONSULTANTS WOOLF BOND REF: 7630 March 2017 Page | 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. This statement has been prepared in support of the representations made to South Oxfordshire Council in regards to Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan Consultation. 1.2. The purpose of this statement is to set out and consider the planning issues arising from proposals by Vanderbilt Homes to build 14 dwellings on land at 46, Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor, in South Oxfordshire. The statement describes the site and surroundings, provides details of the proposals and explains why planning permission should be granted, having regard to planning policies at both national and local level. 1.3. The application is supported by other statements addressing, design and access, transport, ecology, drainage, energy, landscape and arboricultural issues, as well as an LVIA. Executive Summary 1.4. The scheme proposes development entirely in character with development in depth that has been approved in the immediate vicinity, providing a good mix of housing sizes and provision of an appropriate level of affordable housing, within an acknowledged, sustainable village. 1.4. The scheme is for a high quality design and the proposed widening of the existing access would have little, if any visual impact, compared with other approved development in the area, requiring new access points. 1.5. The land north of Icknield Way appeal decision (P15/S2293/O) approved development of a significantly larger scale, using countryside beyond the built up area.
