    OFFICIAL Rule 10(2)(d) Transport and Works Act 1992 The Transport and Works (Applications and Objections Procedure) (England and Wales) Rules 2006 Network Rail (Oxford Station Phase 2 Improvements (Land Only)) Order 202X Report summarising consultations undertaken 1 Introduction 1.1 Network Rail Infrastructure Limited ('Network Rail') is making an application to the Secretary of State for Transport for an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992. 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.

  • Background Papers
    ID CAPACITY TOWN ROAD VIEW COMMENTS As a cycle‐user I frequently use Walton Street both as a destination in its own right and also as a through‐route to and from the rail and coach stations, and West Oxford. The conditions for those who cycle have been immeasurably better since the junction was closed to motor traffic but still open to cycles and those on foot. The simplification of the junction makes a very big difference. Charlbury 9628641 individual Oxford Support That said, the remaining pedestrian crossing at Worcester Street North is now on the wrong alignment to Road facilitate southbound cycle‐users crossing the northbound vehicular flow as it turns into Beaumont Street. This needs urgent solution, now that traffic is rising again post‐COVID. Only when the Traffic Control Point proposed in Connecting Oxford is installed in Worcester Street, operating 24/7 year‐long, should the Walton Street junction be reopened to motor vehicles It is essential to reduce motorised transport both to reduce carbon emissions and to reduce the air pollution caused by motor vehicles. All vehicles cause pollution, including electric vehicles, which require CO2 emissions at power stations and generate particulates from road, brake and tyre wear. Eynsham 9642049 individual Oxford Support The experimental closure of Walton Street is one small step towards creating a safer, healthier and more Road civilised environment for walking and cycling, and reducing vehicle traffic. It should be extended indefinitely, and should be only the first step in a comprehensive suite of measures to eliminate private cars from the city, with the exception of those required by people with physical disabilities that prevent them from using foot, bicycle or public transport.

    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.
