  • Mega-Footpath Problems
    MEGA-FOOTPATH PROBLEMS Most of the Diversion and Modification Orders to PRoWs (DMMOs) published by the County Council are not contentious and therefore the Ramblers do not object to them. Sometimes a suggestion to the Modification Order is made by David Godfrey (Oxfordshire Area Footpath Officer) which leads to a better alternative route. However there are a number of major footpath issues currently affecting Public Rights of Way in the Vale of White Horse. They are listed below. 1. Marcham Mill – Bridge repairs - Closure of path since 2013 SU 457953 293/17 (Marcham). This has been closed for a number of years as the land-owner has refused to carry out repairs to the bridge which has become unsafe. He has also refused to allow the County County to erect a temporary bridge over the stream. The latest news from OCC is that representatives of the Land-owner are at last discussing technical issues with OCC staff. 2. Thames Trail – Obstruction at Oxford Boat Hire premises SP 444076 184/55 (Cumnor). Again a long standing problem. The footpath which runs alongside the site has been blocked by overhanding sterns of boats awaiting repairs. This forces walkers to walk through a working boatyard with attendant Health and Safety issues. 3. Sunningwell Quarry – Closure of path 372/8 at GR SP 498012 for many years. The high cost of the construction of a stairway to overcome quarry face has prevented OCC from implementing a project. Recently Sunningwell Parish Council paid for an initial feasibility study which shows how a new path could be provided to overcome the quarry face.

  • The Sunningwell Case Full Name of Case R V Oxfordshire County
    The Sunningwell Case Full name of case R v Oxfordshire County Council and others, ex parte Sunningwell Parish Council (House of Lords, 1999) Case reference UKHL 28; [2000] 1 AC 335; [1999] 3 ALL ER 385; [1999] 3 WLR 160 Summary The judgment significantly changes the criteria by which registration authorities are required to determine applications to register town or village greens and defines ‘lawful sports and pastimes’ and ‘as of right’. Issues considered Lawful sports and pastimes These activities do not need to be either organised sports or have a communal element. Activities such as dog walking, kite flying, solitary or family activities are sufficient to justify registration as long as there is an established pattern of use and it is not ‘trivial and sporadic’. As of right (Section 22(2) Commons Registration Act 1965) The law prior to the Sunningwell judgment was based on the case of Steed which stated that it required ‘an honest belief in a legal right to use ….’ Lord Hoffmann, in the Sunningwell judgment, states that ‘the actual state of mind of the …….. user is plainly irrelevant’. The subjective element has therefore been removed. It is now only necessary to provide evidence that the green has been used for lawful sports and pastimes without force without secrecy without permission. The judgment also states that, if the use of the land was subject to ‘neighbourly toleration’ by the landowner, this will not defeat an application unless there is strong evidence to show that the use as of right was not consistent with any toleration. The inhabitants of any locality The use of the land must be ‘predominantly’ by the local inhabitants and use of the land by some members of the general public will not be sufficient to defeat an application.

  • Call for Sites Register
    Introduction Vale of White Horse District Council is currently preparing a new Local Plan, jointly with South Oxfordshire District Council. Supporting this process, Vale of White District Council held a ‘Call for sites’ consultation in April to May 2020. Please be aware the Call for Sites is purely a data gathering exercise. It allows landowners, agents, developers, community groups and others who are interested in having land considered for a range of different uses to submit site information to the council that they would like to be assessed. Sites submitted for consideration have been set out in this register. The site register and maps are published for information and have no status in planning. The Call for Sites does not grant planning permission to any sites submitted or confirm that the sites are suitable for development. The sites submitted in the 2020 Call for Sites are one source of information that the council will use to consider which sites might be suitable for allocation through the Local Plan. Other potential sites and sources also need to be considered, including those sites submitted previously to the Local Plan 2031 Part 1 and Part 2. The documents and appendices (which list the sites) can be found on the Local Plan Part 1 and Local Plan Part 2 webpages. The planning merits of the sites will be considered using the criteria and method consistent with relevant government guidance, the outcome of which will be published in a Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA). The HELAA is in preparation and will be published alongside future local plan consultations.

  • Formal Response of Vale of White Horse District Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’S Warding Proposal for Vale of White Horse District
    Formal response of Vale of White Horse District Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s warding proposal for Vale of White Horse district I set out in this letter the formal response of the council to the Commission’s draft recommendations report published in November 2012. Overall, we generally welcome the Commission’s proposals. We note that 17 of the 22 proposed wards either wholly or mostly match the proposals that we submitted in August. Of the five that are different, we raise no objection to the proposal for a two member Cumnor ward covering the whole of Cumnor parish. We object to the other four changes and set out our reasons for this below. We also draw the attention of the Commission to an issue in the warding arrangements for Abingdon, a minor anomaly relating to Wantage and Grove Brook ward and three issues relating to parish warding arrangements. Watchfield and Faringdon The Commission proposes to combine our proposed two member Faringdon ward with our proposed single member Watchfield ward to create a three member Watchfield and Faringdon ward. We do not support this proposal, nor do we find any evidence of support from the constituent parish councils. The Commission’s proposal would create a district ward combining the small, but growing, town of Faringdon with the village of Watchfield and a large rural hinterland. The justification seems to rest solely on the issue of good electoral equality. Nowhere does the Commission seek to argue that the proposal reflects community identity (one of three statutory criteria), we presume for the simple reason that it does not.
