The Committee considered a report detailing a planning application for the demolition of Aristotle House; erection of four storey building to provide office space (Use Class B1) at basement, ground and first floor levels and formation of 2 x 2-bed flats (Use Class C3) above; erection of 4 x 4-bed terraced dwellings (Use Class C3); formation of access from Kingston Road; provision of car parking and bin/cycle storage at Aristotle House, Aristotle Lane, Oxford, OX2 6TR.
The Planning Officer presented the report and made the following points: · Paragraph 35 referred to Hayfield Road, whereas in fact the new access would be from Kingston Road · The safety concerns raised by the St Margaret’s Area Society in their traffic survey (as circulated to the Committee) were fully addressed in the officer report · The Highways Authority had advised that there would only be a marginal increase in traffic and there were no underlying road safety issues at the junction of Kingston Road, Hayfield Road and Aristotle Lane · This was an existing employment site with extensive car parking provision · The new development would reduce vehicle movements
Tim King (St Margaret’s Area Society) and Irene Conway (Headmistress, St Philip & St James) spoke against the application.
Peter Alsop (applicant), Lois Partridge (agent) and Guy Williams (Hayfield’s Residents Association) spoke in support of the application.
In discussion the Committee explored the following issues: · The existing pavement was very narrow and it would be extended (onto the applicant’s land) to provide a wider path suitable for pedestrians and cyclists · Concerns relating to construction traffic would be addressed by the construction travel plan. In response to a suggestion from the Committee the applicant undertook to explore the possibility of using the canal for construction deliveries. The Committee agreed to include this as an informative to the application. · The landscape management plan would address the Committee’s concerns about the removal of some trees and the possible loss of light to the properties
The Committee noted that the ward member and some residents wished to introduce a “shared space” arrangement to address the perceived safety implications of the road layouts and traffic flows, especially at peak school hours.
In response to these concerns the Planning Officer reported that he had consulted with the Highways Authority on this specific point of a “shared space”. The Highways Authority had re-iterated their view that the current scheme was acceptable and that a “shared space” was not necessary as it would not lead to any road safety benefit. The Development Management Services Manager and Legal Adviser confirmed that there were no grounds on which to either condition or refuse the application.
The Committee observed that the towpath was in serious need of resurfacing and felt that it would be a good use of Neighbourhood CIL funds. On advice from officers they noted that this was a matter that would need to be progressed outside the planning committee. The Committee agreed that individual members should pursue the matter ... view the full minutes text for item 78. |
