Planning West Oxfordshire District Council Elmfield New Yatt Road Witney OX28 1PB 18 th July 2011. Draft Core Strategy, further response Alvescot Parish Development ‘West Carterton’ West Waddy and Crest Nicholson Dear Mr Slater, The Shilton Parish Council would like to respond to the additional material submitted by and on behalf of the developers. The Shilton Parish Council (SPC) remains opposed to the principle of the expansion of Carterton into neighbouring Parishes, either strategic or piecemeal, where it takes place outside the current boundaries of Carterton. The SPC rejects the notion that 4,300 new homes are needed for the District by 2026 and that to cater for this conjecture, a strategic site is suitable for the community as a whole. Infill, windfall and small development across the District are not considered despite the local advantages that this would produce. The SPC also contends that Carterton is a dormitory town and that the Core Strategy is flawed where seeks to locate 37% of the District’s new housing on a town where there is no true local economy, there is no employment opportunity, there are no rail links and the local roads do not even to extend to an ‘A’ road. Carterton is isolated from the South by the River Thames over which there are only three single lane road bridges, widely separated at Tadpole Bridge near Buckland, Radcot Bridge at Radcot and the bridge at Lechlade.

  • The River Thames
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The River Thames THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The River Thames By James Bond, Anne Dodd, Jill Hind and Trevor Rowley INTRODUCTION By AD 1000, the Thames was largely established along its modern course (Fig. 1). The character of the river and its immediate environs has been studied as part of numerous archaeological investigations in the valley (Booth et al . 2007; Lambrick et al . 2009; Morigi et al . 2011). By the time of Domesday Book, extensive areas along the river banks were cultivated as hay meadow, and detailed local archaeological studies suggest that this could have begun as early as the 8th or 9th century (eg Booth et al . 2007, 331–6). In places, earlier channels silted up as the alluvium left behind by seasonal floods heightened, extending old river islands and creating new ones. There is abundant evidence for human intervention in these processes from the late Saxon period onwards, with the dumping of soil and refuse at the water-edge to raise the ground level, infill unwanted channels and extend habitable land. The cutting and stabilisation of these channels provided water for milling, industrial processes and navigation. Between AD 1000 and 2000, the Thames provided a wide range of resources to local inhabitants. It was an indispensable source of water for brewing, washing, irrigation and industry; it was the chief drain and sewer of the region, carrying away human and industrial waste; it provided power for mills; it was a source of fish and wildfowl, and of reeds, rushes and willow for flooring and wickerwork; and, it was a highway for transport between the west, the midlands and the port and capital city of London.

  • Radcot and Its Bridges V7
    Radcot and its Bridges A MEDIAEVAL SUPER HUB AND ASPECTS OF ITS HISTORY Bridges and their magic Bridges are a great paradox, they not only use nature against nature, but magically the best examples do not defeat or damage nature but enhance it, and, in ways that are sometimes hard to fathom, achieve a deep harmony with their surroundings………….

Set amongst the beautiful English countryside, this one-day or two-day swimming tour gives you the chance to experience the River Thames from a completely new perspective. Discover a clean and healthy river, as well as some fantastic wildlife and historic sites along the picturesque stretch of water. Stretching from the edge of the Cotswolds to the nation's capital, the River Thames passes through gorgeous countryside and charming villages. We start our trip close to the source of the river, where the fish are jumping and birds are tweeting. We then head past some of the 140 historic sites of special interest, and occasionally take some time out on the banks of the river to really appreciate the view that inspired so many poets, artists, and authors over the centuries. This trip is offered on a one-day or two-day basis with both weekday and weekend departures. A picnic lunch is provided on both days, however accommodation between days is not included as part of either package. WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR? This trip is designed for swimmers who enjoy river swimming and are looking for a chance to experience the beautiful English countryside from the water.

  • Radcot Bridge and Newbridge
    Radcot Bridge and Newbridge By Miss M. R. TOYNBEE [It was originally planned to publish a joint account of Radeot Bridge and Newbridge by Miss Toynbee and Mr. Leeming, similar to their article on Cropredy Bridge in Oxoniensia, m. But when Mr. Leeming left Oxford he was unable to consult the necessary materials for his section, and Miss Toynbee's historical account is therefore now published by itself.-EDITOR.] RADCOT BRIDGE ADCOT is the first bridge over the Thames after the river has entered ROxfordshire. Camden, writing in 1586, noted: 'In parte vlteriori, Isis cum Wiltonienses pertrinxerit, Oxonienses adit, statimque Rodeottano ponte coercitus Bablac praeterfluit." It is not only the first Thames bridge in Oxfordshire, but it is reputed to be the oldest bridge in the river's whole course. It is thought possible that Radcot may be the site of the stone bridge mentioned in a grant of land made by King Eadwig to the thegn Eadric in 958.' The earliest certain record of a bridge at Radcot appears to be that contained in the Patent Rolls of the reign of John, who, in March 1208/ 9, gave notice : 'Sciatis nos recepisse in custodiam et protectionem nostram fratrem Aylwin qui reperacionem pontis de Redeot suscepit et homines et res suas'.' Three further references in the Patent Rolls inform us of the means employed in the 14th century to keep the bridge in repair. In November 1312 Edward II made a grant for five years, at the request of Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke (who was building a castle at Bampton at about this time), to Robert del Pultre and Robert de Kaar of pontage for the repair of the bridge of' Radecote ' upon all wares for sale carried across the bridge.- In April 1347 Edward III granted to Robert Stevenes and Henry de Wodecote pontage for five years for the repair of the bridge of' Radecote '.' In October 1393 Richard II granted to John Symond and J ohn Fissher of Radcot pontage for two years for the repair of the bridge:' it has been 1 Britannia, p.
