    Botley Character Statement West Way Community Concern 1 Contents A. Introduction to the Botley Character Statement C. Headline Findings D. Location, Context and Layout E. Historical Development F. Character Areas 1. West Way 2. Old Botley 3. Seacourt 4. Westminster Way 5. Arthray Road 6. Cumnor Rise 7. North of West Way 8. Dean Court G. Sources Appendix A. Methodology 2 Section A. Introduction to the Botley Character Statement Local residents and businesses in Botley have joined together to prepare this character statement as a result of concern that new development should respond positively to the area’s established positive character. Local and national planning policies require proposals for new development to take local character into account and respond positively to it in the design of new buildings and spaces and their use. However, defining what the positive features of local character are that should be sustained and what negative feature should be managed out through development is a fundamental stage in this design process and requires assessment, analysis and establishment of consensus. Character assessments are now being undertaken by various community groups, as well as local planning authorities to establish this consensus about what is valued in the character of local areas and neighbourhoods to inform planning for change. To support local communities in undertaking their own assessment of character a number of toolkits have been prepared with the assistance of CABE and English Heritage. These are a recognised means for community groups to prepare character assessments that are sufficiently robust and reliable to be informative for planning decisions.
