The Scheme comprises the enhancement of the rail infrastructure around Oxford Station, located in the centre of the city of Oxford. The area around the station is highly urbanised, but includes several watercourses, including the Sheepwash Channel, which connects the River Thames east to the Oxford Canal, and over which passes the existing railway north from Oxford Station. Works for the Scheme would involve demolishing and replacing existing buildings, constructing a new railway line and platform, and modifying bridges. Detailed design and delivery of the Scheme is from 2020 to 2024. This report identifies the following ecological features that could constrain the Scheme: • invasive non-native species (INNS); • fish; • reptiles; • birds; • bats; and • otter. Based on the identified constraints, the following further surveys were undertaken: • Survey of invasive non-native plants within 10m of the red line boundary, including land along the railway in a seasonally appropriate time. • Survey for bats at the bridges over the Sheepwash Channel and the seven buildings identified in this report as having potential to support roosting bats. Surveys comprised (reported separately in Appendix 4.3): o hibernation check of the bridges between November and February (inclusive); o internal inspection of buildings, if possible, to identify whether they could be used by roosting bats; and o emergence and re-entry surveys between May and September (inclusive) to determine whether buildings are in use by bats. • Survey of two trees identified as having moderate potential to support roosting bats. Trees were surveyed twice to identify whether they supported bat roosts by an emergence and re-entry survey Page 1 of 172 OFFICIAL Network Rail Oxford Corridor Phase 2 Capacity Improvement Scheme Environmental Impact Assessment – Appendix 4.1: Preliminary Ecological Appraisal Report 163390-JAC-REP-EEN-000002 Revision A04 Avoidance/ Proposed Mitigation Measures: • Best practice to reduce environmental impacts such as by air pollution and contamination of watercourses (e.g. implementation of CIRIA C741). • Development and implementation of an INNS management plan. • Best practice to reduce impacts to fish, otter and bats. The Scheme would: o minimise in-channel works; o time the installation of structure supports either side of the Sheepwash Channel to avoid spawning periods of coarse fish species (March to June); o avoid direct lighting of watercourses, riparian habitat, adjacent woodland and adjacent residential areas; o prevent excessive noise and vibration; and o implement best practice for pollution prevention. • Trees assessed as having low potential to support

The proposed order is termed the Network Rail (Oxford Station Phase 2 Improvements (Land Only)) Order ('the Order'). 1.2 The purpose of the Order is to facilitate improved capacity and capability on the “Oxford Corridor” (Didcot North Junction to Aynho Junction) to meet the Strategic Business Plan objections for capacity enhancement and journey time improvements. As well as enhancements to rail infrastructure, improvements to highways are being undertaken as part of the works. Together, these form part of Oxford Station Phase 2 Improvements ('the Project'). 1.3 The Project forms part of a package of rail enhancement schemes which deliver significant economic and strategic benefits to the wider Oxford area and the country. The enhanced infrastructure in the Oxford area will provide benefits for both freight and passenger services, as well as enable further schemes in this strategically important rail corridor including the introduction of East West Rail services in 2024. 1.4 The works comprised in the Project can be summarised as follows: • Creation of a new ‘through platform’ with improved passenger facilities. • A new station entrance on the western side of the railway. • Replacement of Botley Road Bridge with improvements to the highway, cycle and footways.

OXFORD TO CRICKLADE NB: going upstream Oxford LEAVING Folly Bridge, winding along the river past the Oxford Gas-works, and passing under the line of the G.W.R., we soon come to Osney Lock (falls ft. 6 in.), close by which was the once-famous Abbey. There is nothing left to attest its former magnificence and arrest our progress, so we soon come to Botley Bridge, over which passes the western road fro Oxford to Cheltenham , Bath , &c.; and a little higher are four streams, the bathing-place of "Tumbling bay" being on the westward one. Keeping straight on, Medley Weir is reached (falls 2 ft.), and then a long stretch of shallow water succeeds, Godstow Lock until we reach Godstow Lock. Godstow Lock (falls 3 ft. 6 in., pay at Medley Weir) has been rebuilt, and the cut above deepened, the weeds and mud banks cleared out, so as to leave th river good and navigable up to King's Weir.

  • A History of Botley and the Surrounding Area
    A history of Botley and the surrounding area Botley (also previously Botleigh), meaning ‘Bota’s clearing in the woods’, was one of several small settlements to the west of the Thames floodplain settled in Saxon times. Other nearby settlements included Wytham and Seacourt to the north, and North and South Hinksey to the south. Evidence of human presence in the area from the Iron Age on to Saxon times remains in the form of trackways, pits, barrows, hill forts, enclosures and cemeteries, particularly around Wytham Hill. Away from the river there was the village of Cumnor, which has also had strong ties with Botley over the centuries. Prior to the Dissolution these lands all fell within the domain of Abingdon Abbey, and practically speaking, links with Abingdon were much stronger than with Oxford. One of the reasons for this was the physical location within the northernmost loop of the Thames, as shown on the map below. The shaded area shows the Thames floodplain in medieval times together with the contours of the surrounding countryside. Routes to the west, north and east were not simple, and required the use of several ferries and bridges. Travel to the south, on the other hand required no crossing of major waterways. On the map Botley is the middle one of seven dots shown on the west bank of the Thames. If you travelled a short distance to the west you passed through a valley between Wytham Hill and Cumnor Hill. This valley widened into the area known as Cumnor Meadow (including Far Moor) before the Thames appeared once more ahead of you.
