  • 11J. SODC Portfolio Holder Report April 2018.Docx
    REPORT FOR: Councillor Felix Bloomfield CABINET MEMBER FOR PLANNING DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT (DM) REPORT FOR April 2018 1. CORPORATE Oxfordshire Housing and Growth Deal The terms of reference and Statement of Common Ground are being considered by a meeting of the joint scrutiny committee on 17 April. The production of the Statement of Common Ground was supported by involvement from the Planning Advisory Service and will be regularly updated through the duration of the JSSP. The Growth Deal team are talking to MHCLG about the practicalities and operation of a reduced housing delivery test alongside a 3 year housing land supply. More detail will emerge, but it is likely that this will need to be subject to local consultation prior to the publication of the final NPPF. Joint Statutory Spatial Plan (JSSP) for Oxfordshire (statutory) As part of the Housing and Growth Deal officers are starting to progress some background to the joint statutory spatial plan. An interim lead for the JSSP has been appointed – Rachel Williams will be taking on the project and is expected to take up this post in the next fortnight. 2. DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT Registration Number of applications is 111 (currently working to 3 day turnaround) Average number of applications received throughout March was 30.5 per day (up on January and February figures and in April an average of 34 per day is expected. There have been issues with staffing levels across the Registration/ Business Support – as a result of vacancies and sickness – we are trying to address this by amending working patterns and recruitment. 5YHLS update Our current Five Year Housing Land Supply (5YHLS) position was published in May 2017 and demonstrates that we have supply of 4.1 years.

  • Minutes November 2017 Page 1
    East Hagbourne Parish Council Minutes of the Parish Council meeting duly convened and held on Thursday 2nd November 2017 1) Attendance, apologies, declarations of pecuniary interest and vacancies. Present were Chairman D. Rickeard, Vice Chair, I. Duff, C. Gover, D. Button, S. Beynon, J. Elliott In attendance A. Leigh (Clerk), members of the public D. Rickeard reported that Crispin Topping has resigned form the Parish Council, but will continue to serve as Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Steering Group. 2) Public Forum and Questions. Members of the public were in attendance to present the views of the Save St Hugh’s Rise campaign against planning application P17/S3798/O They oppose the development due to the following grounds: 1) Access to a development of this size (85+ houses) which they consider inadequate, as access is solely through St Hugh’s Rise, a cul de sac off St Hilda's Close, which itself is a branch off the Fleet Meadow loop road, called Sandringham Rd. St Hugh’s is a small cul-de-sac that contains 65 houses, resulting in many cars parking on the road itself. Additionally, St Hugh’s has narrowed pinch points, further restricting traffic flow. The proposed development could see an additional 150+ cars attempting to use this already over utilised access road. Construction traffic will be accessing the development through narrow residential roads and will be noisy, dangerous and inconvenient to residents. How would emergency services cope in the case of an emergency arising? St Hilda's Close and its tributary streets contains 105 + houses, all of which will have the same main access point back to Sandringham road.

David Bartholomew GENERAL OCC REPORT UNITARY DEBATE There have been reports suggesting that proposals for reform are off the table due to the lack of agreement between the City and District Councils, and the County. While it is true that Government wishes to proceed by consensus where possible, OCC hopes that the debate is not over – particularly when Grant Thornton has put forward a new compromise proposal, which has yet to be fully discussed. With £200,000 spent on independent advice, and with both reports showing that savings in excess of £100m are possible over a five-year time period through a single strategic authority for Oxfordshire, it is everybody's interest that the debate continues.

  • Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire
    Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire By B. J. ENRIGHT INthe English Topographer, published in 1720, Richard Rawlinson described the manuscript and printed sources from which a history of Oxfordshire might be compiled and declared regretfully, ' of this County .. we have as yet no perfect Description.' He hastened to add in that mysteriously weH­ informed manner which invariably betokened reference to his own activities: But of this County there has been, for some Years past, a Description under Consideration, and great Materials have been collected, many Plates engraved, an actual Survey taken, and Quaeries publish'd and dispers'd over the County, to shew the Nature of the Design, as well to procure Informations from the Gentry and others, which have, in some measure, answer'd the Design, and encouraged the Undertaker to pursue it with all convenient Speed. In this Work will be included the Antiquities of the Town and City of Oxford, which Mr. Anthony d l-Vood, in Page 28 of his second Volume of Athenae Oxonienses, &c. promised, and has since been faithfully transcribed from his Papers, as well as very much enJarg'd and corrected from antient Original Authorities. I At a time when antiquarian studies were rapidly losing their appeal after the halcyon days of the 17th-century,' this attempt to compile a large-scale history of a county which had received so little attention caUs for investigation. In proposing to publish a history of Oxfordshirc at this time, Rawlinson was being far less unrealistic thall might at first appear. For

  • Scheduled Monuments in Oxfordshire Eclited by D
    Scheduled Monuments in Oxfordshire Eclited by D. B. HARDEN HE Council for British Archaeology has recently issued the second eclition T of its J1emorandum on the Ancient Monuments Acts of 1913, 1931 and 1953.' This pamphlet explains in brief terms the provisions of the Acts and the machinery instituted by the Ministry of Works for operating them. It con­ tains also a list of local correspondents of the Mjnistry of Works, county by county, through whom reports and information about ancient monuments in the counties may be forwarded to the Ancient Monuments Department of the Ministry for action by the Chief Inspector of Ancient Monuments and his staff'. The information contained in the pamphlet is so important and so lucidly set out that the Committee has reacliJy acceded to a request from the Council for British Archaeology that its substance should be reprinted here. It is hoped that aJl members of the Society will make themselves familiar with the facts it provides, and be ready to keep the necessary watch on ancient monu­ ments in their area whether scheduled or not scheduled. Any actual or impend­ ing destruction or damage should be reported without delay either to the Cbief Inspector of Ancient Monuments or to the Ministry's Local Correspondent in the county in which the monument lies. (A list of the correspondents for Oxfordshire and neighbouring counties is given in Appendix I.) Special watch should, of course, be kept on monuments already scheduled, which are, for the very reason that they are scheduled, to be presumed to be amongst the most important ancient remains in the clistrict.
