    Hardstanding between railway and 12/00849/F Higham Way, adjacent Integrated Control Centre, Banbury Ward: Banbury Grimsbury and Castle District Councillors: Cllr Beere, Cllr Bonner, Cllr Cullip Case Officer: Simon Dean Recommendation: Refusal Applicant: Chiltern Railway Company Ltd Application Description: Construction of a multi-storey station car park for rail customer parking and formation of a new east-side access to Banbury station with associated pedestrian link bridge Committee Referral: Major 1. Site Description and Proposed Development 1.1 The application site is approximately 1 acre (0.4ha) of land to the East of Banbury Station, accessed from Higham Way, lying between the Marshall Road flats (the former cattle-market site) and the railway lines. 1.2 At present, the site is mainly hardstanding, with an element of concrete slab, providing some parking, an element of outside storage for Network Rail, as well as access to the track. The southern part of the hardstanding, outside the application site, but accessed from within it has the Chiltern Railways’ Integrated Control Centre (ICC) on it. The site is bounded by the railway to the west, ICC to the south, sorting office to the north, and access road and Marshall Road flats to the east. 1.3 The application seeks permission for a multi-storey car park for rail passenger use, providing 707 car parking spaces, associated drop-off circulation space and a pedestrian bridge linking the car park to the eastern-end of the station building. Vehicular and pedestrian access to the car park will be from the northern end of the site, minimising travel distance along Higham Way from Merton St and to allow direct pedestrian access from Higham Way to the stairs and lift to the link bridge and the station beyond.
