J.A. Pye Ltd
Demolition of existing hotel buildings and construction of 21 flats (one and two bedroom) with associated access road, parking, amenity space and landscaping.
Bowood House 238 Oxford Road, Kidlington
Ms Webb addressed the committee. She reported that she has spoken to a representative from J. A. Pye, in her opinion the design of this application is better than the previous application submitted by McCarthy-Stone.
Ms Webb’s main concern being that the Lleylandi trees screening her property and garden from the site are to be felled. (she has no problem with the felling) but would want them replaced with alternative trees as the flats will overlook her garden – Ms Webb had mentioned this to the representative from J Pye, he reported that as yet no plan has been decided for the landscaping of the site.
Declaration of Interest:
None
16. Minutes
The minutes of the meeting of June 15th 2006 were agreed and signed as a true record.
17. Matters arising from the Minutes of the Meeting held on June 15th 2006
a) Item 10:- Planning Applications and item 11 – Planning Decisions
Re:- amended plans forwarded to the Parish Council from Cherwell District Council not for comment but purely for information
It was recorded in the Minutes of June 15th that minor amendments to plans were being received from Cherwell District Council not for consultation but for information and records only.
It was noted that a decision had been made by Cherwell District Council on amended plans that had not been sent to the Parish Council for consultation.
The administrative assistant reported that she had contacted Mr. B. Duxbury at Cherwell District Council.
Correspondence from Mr Duxbury was circulated.
The Committee discussed the matter and agreed that due to the pressure on Cherwell District Council to process applications within a tight timescale it was understandable that case officers may need to make an assumption that the revised plans will not alter the original comments received i.e. that an objection will stand irrespective of the revisions made.
b) Item 14
i) Withdrawal of Planning applications No 06/00567/F and 06/00461/F – Sainsbury’s
Correspondence was circulated
Item noted
c) Item 14 ii
a) Appeal Ref:APP/C3105/A/06/2008557/NWF – Jade Development
b) Appeal Ref: APP/C3105/A/06/2010775/WF – Jade Development
Correspondence was circulated
It was noted that both Appeals have been dismissed.
d) Appeal Ref: APP/C3105/A/06/2011111
Mark Russell Hardy – alleged Breach of Planning control - Land adjoining 2 Exeter Road.
The Administrative Assistant reported that she had contacted Cherwell District Council for further information. The defence against the alleged breeches of
Planning control by Mr Hardy is that he is now going to build a garage at the
end of the garden to his property at 62 High Street and not a separate dwelling
at land adjoining 2 Exeter Road and as such the hard standing and the access
are both permitted development and do not require planning permission.
Due to the time scale further comment cannot be forwarded to the Inspectorate. As yet there is no date for the hearing. A copy of the ‘Guide to taking part in enforcement appeals’ is now in the Parish office.
