The Head of City Development has submitted a report which describes the work involved in the completion of the Oxford Archaeological Plan (OAP) project and the production of an Oxford Archaeological Action Plan.

With funding received from English Heritage in 2008 the Heritage and Specialist service team has been recording and collating the archaeology in Oxford. The OAP is designed to:

·        Signpost the results of the assessment and characterisations projects online.

·        Provide a short overview of the city’s historical development.

·        Flag up strategic issues regarding long term archaeological asset management.

·        Provide a framework of encouragement for larger developers and land owners to protect archaeology in the city.

·        Improve the quality and scope of the Urban Archaeological Database and seek to improve public access to this information.

The project has focused on the city centre and the pressure of development on the city’s archaeology.

The Committee resolved to NOTE the completion of the Oxford Archaeological Plan and the production of the Oxford Archaeological Action Plan.

The Committee congratulated the officers for the Archaeological Action Plan and the background work they have been doing. They recognised the challenges highlighted in the report and endorsed the council’s commitment to

• developing high quality evidence base on the historic environment and

• providing effective archaeological development control advice.

The Committee made the following comments/ questions on the proposed action plan:

1.         How does this plan link with the other council heritage strategies and plans?

The OAP project forms part of the evidence base for the Oxford Heritage plan which will facilitate further development of heritage policy for the city.

2.         You have focused on the city centre, is their a plan to extend the research to other parts of the city ie East Oxford?

3.         How do we use this plan to build the economy of the city, improve tourism and enhance residents’ wellbeing?

By encouraging people to get involved in the process, increasing public awareness of the city’s archaeology and connecting it with the heritage plans to link personal agendas; will mean that the city’s heritage assets can be used to facilitate and enhance future development.
