  • Character Area 9: Headington Centre
    CHARACTER ASSESSMENT CHARACTER AREA 9: HEADINGTON CENTRE GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA This area comprises the busy A420 London Road from its start at Headley Way eastwards to just beyond St Andrew's School. It includes the non-residential buildings on adjoining roads near its junctions, as well as the whole of Stephen Road, Horwood Close, Blackburn Close and that part of Osler Road outside the Old Headington Conservation Area. To the North East, it is bounded by Bury Knowle Park; Old Headington Conservation Area lies to the North and there are residential estates to the West and South. It is today the heart of Headington, and includes over 150 businesses (see appendix to Businesses and Retail section), most of them comprising the Headington District Shopping Centre. The area includes a state primary school, a private junior school and a private hospital. London Road is the main route from London to Oxford; as well as many local buses serving employment sites and hospitals, many coaches from the major UK airports and Thornhill Park and Ride make stops in London Road. The centre is a crossroads: London Road runs west/east, and Windmill Road runs north/south enabling a busy traffic corridor between the John Radcliffe Hospital in Headley Way through to Cowley and South East Oxford via the B5995. The local planning authority's policy RC4 applies specifically to this area. It states that 65% or more of frontages in the District Centre should be for A1 use, i.e. purchase of goods to take away. Page 1 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT This busy area used to be part of the farmland of Old Headington, and two sixth- century Anglo- Saxon burials were discovered on two sites in Stephen Road, suggesting a dispersed burial site.

  • Development Sites in OX3
    Development Sites in OX3 In this document I have extracted from the Submission Draft of the Oxford Local Plan 2016 – 2036 all the development sites in the OX3 area. There are also two designated ‘Areas of Change’; Marston Road and Old Road. For each site there is a preamble and a formal statement of policy describing what development will be permitted. The policies all have an ‘SP’ prefix. This is the complete list. Click any one to go to the preamble, which is followed by the policy. I have also made an interactive map from the Council’s Policies Map. The map shows all the sites – and plenty more. Within the OX3 area shown on the map you can click any of the SP references to go straight to the details for that site.

  • Character Assessment Character Area 07: Headington Hill South
    CHARACTER ASSESSMENT CHARACTER AREA 07: HEADINGTON HILL SOUTH GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA This document covers the Conservation area of Headington Hill South. Because the area has already been assessed by Oxford City Council in a Conservation Area Appraisal we have not undertaken a separate character assessment. The City’s Conservation Area Appraisal (CAA) can be seen here: www.oxford.gov.uk/PageRender/decP/Headington_Hill_occw.htm We have, however, reviewed the ‘issues’ listed in the CAA and noted the extent to which these have been addressed or have changed. This review is shown in the next section, and lessons for new development arising from the issues is shown in the following section of this document. ISSUES The CAA identified nine issues / vulnerabilities / opportunities for enhancement. See section 2.7 of the Conservation Area Appraisal (pages 24, 25). The following table lists these in the left hand column, and shows in the right hand column what, if anything, has changed since the CAA was completed. Page 1 Poor quality entrance to Cheney Lane The suggested off-road footpath between The western end of Cheney Lane has a low wall built across Cheney Lane and Marston Road on part of its entrance from Headington Road, with planting southern side of Headington Road has and bicycle barriers covering the rest of the entrance and not been adopted. only a narrow footpath providing access into the lane. This has been undertaken to prevent motor vehicles turning into the lane from Headington Road and to prevent cyclists and walkers accidentally getting into the path of vehicles coming down the hill.

  • Detection and Characterisation of Eemian Marine Tephra Layers Within the Sapropel S5 Sediments of the Aegean and Levantine Seas

In Eastern Mediterranean marine sediments, it is marked by a well-developed and organic-rich “sapropel” layer (S5), which is thought to reflect an intensification and northward migration of the African monsoon rain belt over orbital timescales. However, despite the importance of these sediments, very little proxy-independent stratigraphic information is available to enable rigorous correlation of these sediments across the region. This paper presents the first detailed study of visible and non-visible (cryptotephra) layers found within these sediments at three marine coring sites: ODP Site 967B (Levantine Basin), KL51 (South East of Crete) and LC21 (Southern Aegean Sea).
