Bachport Response Appendices Planning Application MW.0039/16 Consultation Response Bachport May 2016 APPENDIX 1 MINUTES OF MEETINGS WITH THE APPLICANT OF 17/07/14 and 12/11/15 Parish Meeting – 17th July 2014 at Appleford Village Hall Attendees: Tom Bowtell - Long Wittenham Parish (Chair) (TB) Jaqi Mason - Culham Parish (JM) Chris Neill - Clifton Hampden Parish (Chair) (CN) Ian Mason - Clifton Hampden Parish (IM) John Woodley Sheard - Culham Parish (JWS) Hamish Forbes Forsyth - Culham Parish (Chair) (HFF) Johanna Richardson - Appleford Parish (JR) Sue Harris - Appleford Parish (SH) Lewis Beadle - Appleford Parish (LB) Alan Mackenzie - Consultant to Hills Quarry Products Ltd (AM) Lucy Binnie - Land & Mineral Management Ltd (LJB) Andrew Liddle - Hills Quarry Products Ltd (AL) AM Gave a brief introduction to the Hills Company and a brief outline to the proposal of a 5 million tonne reserve, running at 250,000tpa with an associated concrete plant. New access onto A415 AM Ran through a number of plans, showing the site area, the archaeology and the geology. LB Asked “how had Hills become aware of the site”? AM Approaches from the land owners and information from Oxford County Council. The ownership of the site is under three trusts: Emmet, Cauldwell and Morrell Archaeological site investigations have been carried out and a report submitted to the County archaeologist who has agreed there is no significant archaeology present. The geological report is currently being updated with further information. The initial working plan is being developed. TB Asked how the site would be worked, would all the areas would be open at the same time? AM There will be a number of phases open as the development progresses, the intention is always to strip soils from a new area and use that material for restoration of a completed phase, the timing of this can change depending on the amount of soils and overburden to be handled and the depth of mineral. AM Currently work is being carried out on the hydrology report by Amec, for flood impact assessments. Noise, Dust and visual impact assessments are also being undertaken by Advanced Environmental. AM Outlined the restoration plan, which makes provision for the three main drivers for any restoration, agriculture, habitat and leisure. This is to maximise the re-use of the Grade 2a soils and also achieve a soils balance to negate the requirement for any importation of inert infill materials. TB Question regarding the marina, what facilities would this include, would there be residential? AM There will be associated buildings and structures with the marina, such as car park and service buildings but not housing. The restoration plans are still being developed, with changes such as removing the ‘rowing lake’ and providing a larger lake for a number of activities. TB The parishes are trying to establish a link between Appleford and Clifton Hampden along the Thames, how would the development affect this? AM We have had discussions with Oxford CC rights of way and there have been no concerns raised regarding the development. CN Stated Parish not aware of any discussions and footpaths are the responsibility of the parish. LJB Asked if it would be possible to see details of their footpath proposals. SH Asked if there would be any impact on the Thames Path? AM Have spoken to National Trails about a standoff JI What would be the standoff be? AM At least 16 metres. As a demarcation there would also be a fence installed and possibly a soil bund. CN How tall would these bunds be? AM Could make any size providing don’t impact flood capacity. CN Mentioned Oxfords West Way announcement which would see an increase in water on this stretch of the Thames. TB Can you give an indication of traffic movements? JWS Mentioned the two bridges crossing the Thames, both of which are heavily congested and can also flood in the winter. CN Also asked about routeing with concerns about the pinch point in Abingdon and Clifton Hampden. AM Currently the traffic report is being undertaken by Cole Easdon. The intention is for 250,000tpa to be taken from the site on predominantly 20t trucks, onto the A415 turning either right or left – it and A road and the County is responsibility for. Wouldn’t use the bridges at Culham. JM Have you established what the catchment area for these products? AM Most gravels travel no more than a 30/40 mile radius of the site to where development is. Proposed developments in Didcot and the Science Park are example of demand. TB Are Hills applying for any other sites in Oxford? AM Currently no. We operate a building sand site near Faringdon, a high quality Mortar Sand site at Upwood and we are just completing the restoration of a site near Appleton. Currently sand & Gravel products are being carried long distances from Hills site in the Waterpark to Newbury and into the Oxford area. TB Can you give us an idea of the type of cement plant? AM Clarified difference between a cement plant and a concrete plant, a concrete plant doesn’t make cement it combines cement with the aggregates to produce concrete. Tabled were photographs of the gravel washing plant and the concrete plant installed at Woodsford which are similar to what propose here. JM Queried there would be extra movements bringing in cement. AM Yes, would be detailed in highway report. TB How much noise will there be from the concrete plant? AM Experts working on it and speaking to EHO, mitigation measures, such as planting and bunds, will be looked at to reduce the noise of the plant. TB Asked when would be able to know the results AM A couple of months IM Asked about the processing plant AM Went through the proposed site plant layout showing the position of screening bunds and the proposed heights. IM How high can these bunds be? AL Bund heights vary they can be up to 10 metres if they are constructed from over burden but only 3 metres if they made from topsoil to avoid destroying the quality of the soils for future use. IM Can they be planted with trees? AL Yes. All the bunds would be grassed and maintained, but certain ones can also be planted with bushes or trees. CN How many people would be employed? AL 6-8 on site with additional employment with drivers. IM As TB has mentioned the noise impact assessment report would need to be seen by the Parish’s as soon as it is available. LJB All the reports will be compiled into the E.I.A as part of the planning process with all the technical information forming part of the planning application submission. AM There will also be a Non-technical Summary of the application to allow for a wider understanding of the issues and how they are addressed. HFF Do you go through the reports before the application is made? LJB There are various discussions with different parties and amendments made before submission. TB Do you have any indications on timescale? AM We would be hoping to have a planning application ready to submit by the year end. JR We do hear noise from the nearby Hanson operation at Sutton Courtney, reversing bleepers and general noise. AL There are mitigation measures which can be used, technology fitted to those machines may not be current, there is a need for audible sounders on mobile plant, but here are new units on the market which are broadband noise designed to operate at only 5dBA above ambient. TB Congestion in the area is of real concern, further developments at Didcot and the Science Park will increase this. The plans do not take into account the North – South movements, which is a County highways issue. AM Is issue consultants looking at. OCC needs to put more into infrastructure, it’s the same at many locations. CN One major point – the site is entirely within the Clifton Hampden parish not Culham! AM Weren’t aware of issue with name. It isn’t a site name Hills picked. From day one, with the landowners and the County, the site has always been referred to as Culham. Beside Culhman Science park and Culham station. CN Clifton Hampden has just been granted the power to establish its own Neighbourhood Plan; it would be useful to have a copy of the restoration proposal to see how that would link in. LB Asked if Hills could have details of Clifton Hampden’s Neighbourhood Plan proposals. JR The Hanson site should have been completed by now. The proposed development is for 20 years or so - if there is a downturn in the market would the site be mothballed? AM The Hanson company is a global business with a very diverse number of operation which allows them to stop and start operations depending on the market. Hills a very different, a family business and the nature of the investment is such that Hills can’t close a unit on a temporary basis because of the revenue implications. IM Raised the point of gravel deposit available on the other side of the railway and it’s potential to be brought into the site like Hanson have done by going under the road. AM There is gravel the other side of the railway, but there are very substantial engineering aspects to being able to bring that gravel into the proposed development, which would be financially prohibitive for the quality and quantity of gravel available. CN When would documents be available and when have a public exhibition? AM In a couple of months we would expect a number of reports to be near completed for the E.I.A which will then allow us to set up the public exhibition.

I have moved it here. THE THAMES ABOVE OXFORD. BY THE EDITOR. OXFORD TO CRICKLADE NB: going upstream Oxford LEAVING Folly Bridge, winding along the river past the Oxford Gas-works, and passing under the line of the G.W.R., we soon come to Osney Lock (falls ft. 6 in.), close by which was the once-famous Abbey. There is nothing left to attest its former magnificence and arrest our progress, so we soon come to Botley Bridge, over which passes the western road fro Oxford to Cheltenham , Bath , &c.; and a little higher are four streams, the bathing-place of "Tumbling bay" being on the westward one. Keeping straight on, Medley Weir is reached (falls 2 ft.), and then a long stretch of shallow water succeeds, Godstow Lock until we reach Godstow Lock. Godstow Lock (falls 3 ft. 6 in., pay at Medley Weir) has been rebuilt, and the cut above deepened, the weeds and mud banks cleared out, so as to leave th river good and navigable up to King's Weir.

  • Chronicle No. 11
    The Chronicle The Journal of the Long Wittenham Local History Group No.11 June 2002 Editorial This journal, the eleventh published by the Group, brings the village of Long Wittenham of a centuryand more ago back to life. There are fond memories of the days before television and widespreadmotor traffic, before antibiotics, plastics and the Welfare State. This was a time people remember with great affection - indeed Freda Collins calls her reminiscences ‘Golden Days'. Freda Collins and her family came to live next to the Plough Inn in 1907. In those days the house was called River Close, today it is known as Evelegh’s. Freda became a well-known author writing plays and stories for Sunday Schools and Brownies. In this charming portrait of pre First World War village life, familiar names from the village past become real people; villagers who lived and worked here before us. Go back in time with Freda and imagine the High Street of yesteryear. When Pauline Powell began to research her family history some years ago it soon became clear that Long Wittenham would play a major part in her ancestral past. One part of her research has been following the life and times of David Chambers who, with his wife Lavinia, ran the Plough Inn for many years in the second half of the nineteenth century. What emerged was a much more complicated and devious past than one might have imagined. Follow Pauline as she traces the twists and turns of the story. The River Thames has always played an important part in the life of the village and Dick Eason knew and loved the river all his life.
