9 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 7 2. Reserved Matters Application Contents Overview of the submission 2.1 This Planning Statement is one of a suite of documents submitted in support of the Reserved Matters Application. The Planning Statement should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Application Forms, Application Drawings and supporting documentation. Documents and Drawings EIA Screening Letter 2.2 An Environmental Statement was submitted in support of the original outline planning application (your ref: 13/01383/OUT). A request for a screening opinion for this reserved matters application under the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 was submitted to Oxford City Council on 18 March A Screening Opinion dated 8 April 2014 (attached as Appendix D) concluded that this is EIA development but the Council are unable to confirm whether supplementary information to the original Environment Statement is required, until formal receipt and initial consideration of the Reserved Matters Application and supporting material. 2.4 The Reserved Matters Application is consistent with the formal screening opinion request submitted in March It is not considered that the Reserved Matters Application gives rise to any issues which require further supplementary information to the original Environment Statement. More particularly: The assessment of in-combination cumulative effects in the Environmental Statement remains valid - It is noted that the Westgate Centre has received outline planning consent dated 16 October 2014 (LPA Ref: 13/02557/OUT), the Westgate Centre has had an outline consent for redevelopment since 2007, which was then renewed in 2010, but the scheme did not come forward. The original 2007/2010 scheme was factored into the cumulative impacts assessment within the Environment Statement; an assessment of the 2007/2010 scheme against the 2014 indicates that there is very little material difference in the schemes, but a switch in the mix of uses towards assembly and leisure (Class D2) and food/drink uses (Class A3, A4, A5). There has been no change to the cumulative assessment of effect interaction within the Approved Development, taking into consideration the impact of any Section 106 obligations which were not within the proposed Heads of Terms taken into account within the original Environmental Statement. As part of the EIA, a foul water impact study was completed by Thames Water which identified that foul water sewer flooding during storm events may be possible in the Northway area if appropriate mitigation measures were not incorporated within the proposed development. Barton Oxford LLP have worked closely with Thames Water to design a proposed solution which will mitigate the impacts of the approved development and this is set out within the Foul Water Strategy, which is separately submitted for approval under Condition 26. The proposed solution complies with the mitigation requirements of the Environmental Statement.

17 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT The Proposed Development Introduction 3.1 This section sets out the description of development to which this Reserved Matters Application relates, as well as the development context for proposals. Location and Context 3.2 The Site (excluding highways land) comprises in the order of 38 hectares of predominantly low grade agricultural land located in north-east Oxford. The site is situated to the north of the A40 dual carriageway, which forms the southern boundary of the site. The site is separated from surrounding neighbourhoods by the A40, with the exception of Barton, which lies immediately to the east of the site. Other nearby neighbourhoods includes Old Headington to the south, Headington (including the John Radcliffe Hospital) to the south-east and south, and Northway to the south-west. The Bayswater Brook forms the northern boundary of the site, beyond which is open countryside. The northern site boundary is also the administrative boundary of the City Council, with land to the north being under jurisdiction of South Oxfordshire District Council. 3.3 The site consists mainly of fields separated by tall, unmanaged hedgerows, trees and ditches. A number of drainage ditches run from the south of the site to the Bayswater Brook. The site also incorporates Barton Village Recreation Ground, which comprises grass football pitches (one full size, one junior size); children s play area, changing pavilion and associated parking, and is located in the north-east corner of the site. Approximately 4 hectares of allotments are located to the south of the Recreation Ground, 2.5 hectares of which are leased to the allotment association and are in active use, with the remainder being uncultivated. The Barton Village Nature Park is located in the far south-east corner of the site, which serves as recreational open space. The Headington Primary Substation, owned by Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), is located in the centre of the site. The site is traversed by existing public footpaths, including one running east-west alongside the Bayswater Brook and another running north-south past adjacent to the primary substation. 3.4 In terms of its topography, the site is located on the slope of Bayswater Brook valley and is characterised by a gradient sloping downwards from south to north. The highest ground is located in south-east corner of the site at the Barton Village Nature Park and the allotments. From this point, the site slopes downwards towards the Recreation Ground and the primary substation to the north and west. Outline Planning Permission 3.5 The site has an outline planning consent for the following, granted in October 2013 (LPA Ref: 13/01383/OUT) Outline application (seeking means of access) for the erection of: A maximum of 885 residential units (Class C3); a maximum of 2,500 sqm gross Class A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 uses (with a maximum of 2,000 sqm gross foodstore Class A1); a maximum of 50 extra care housing units; a maximum of 7,350 sqm GEA hotel (Class C1); a maximum of 3,000 sqm GEA Class D1, D2 floorspace (community hub and primary school); in development blocks ranging from 2 to 5 storeys with associated cycle and car parking, landscaping, public

(Additional information - Landscape and Cultural Heritage Statement). 3.6 The Planning Application sought outline planning permission, with details of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved within the parameters set out in the approved Parameter Plans, accompanying written reports and the Environmental Statement. 3.7 Details of new accesses with the A40 Northern Bypass Road, Barton Village Road and Harolde Close were approved. Reserved Matters Application 3.8 This first detailed Reserved Matters Application sets out the first phase of site-wide enabling infrastructure including: Creation of the Primary Street, including new public realm, squares, footpaths, street furniture and landscaping; Creation of the Linear Park, Greenways and ponds across the site; Service and utilities provision; Delivery of the Surface Water and Foul Water schemes, including the creation of the attenuation ponds, swales, new sewer and underground water storage tanks; Tree removals and protection; Earthworks.

19 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT Planning History, Outline Planning Approval and Planning Policy Context Planning History 4.1 The Application Site was designated as safeguarded land through the 1997 Oxford Local Plan and Policy NE.3 of the Oxford Local Plan , which recognised the site as an area that was not allocated for development, but would instead be kept free to fulfil its purpose of meeting possible longer-term development needs. 4.2 With the progression of the Core Strategy, the Application Site was then brought forward through Policy CS7 as an allocated development site in order to accommodate a large proportion of the identified level of housing need required for Oxford. The application site and surrounding area are now the subject of the adopted (Barton Area Action Plan (December 2012). 4.3 Outline planning permission was granted for up to 885 new homes, 2,500 sq.m of retail floorspace (Class A1- A5), a maximum of 50 extra care housing units, a maximum of 7,350sq.m of Hotel (Class C1), a maximum of 3000 sq.m of Class D1, D2 floorspace (community hub and primary school) with associated parking, landscaping and highway works in October The Design Code approved pursuant to the outline planning permission was evolved through an iterative design process that was informed by a comprehensive public consultation and stakeholder engagement exercise which commenced in February This led to the development of the site principles, parameters and illustrative masterplan, which formed the basis of the approved Outline Planning Application. 4.5 Outline planning permission was granted for the Approved Development in October 2013 (LPA ref: 13/01383/OUT) for: Outline application (seeking means of access) for the erection of: A maximum of 885 residential units (Class C3); a maximum of 2,500 sqm gross Class A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 uses (with a maximum of 2,000 sqm gross foodstore Class A1); a maximum of 50 extra care housing units; a maximum of 7,350 sqm GEA hotel (Class C1); a maximum of 3,000 sqm GEA Class D1, D2 floorspace (community hub and primary school); in development blocks ranging from 2 to 5 storeys with associated cycle and car parking, landscaping, public realm works, interim works and associated highway works. (Additional information - Landscape and Cultural Heritage Statement) 4.6 Subsequent to the granting of Outline Planning Permission, the removal of a number of trees outside ecologically sensitive period was agreed. Copies of that correspondence are attached in Appendix D. Development Parameters 4.7 The Outline Planning Application sets out the basis for the structure and character of the proposed development through a series of approved Parameter Plans. These define the scope of future applications for this, and other, Reserved Matters Applications, notably: Parameter Plan 01 Building Zone; Parameter Plan 02 Land Use;

20 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 18 Parameter Plan 03 Open Land and Landscaping; Parameter Plan 04 Movement and Access; Parameter Plan 05 Density; and Parameter Plan 06 Building Height and Scale. 4.8 The accompanying Design & Access Statement sets out the relationship between the proposals within this Reserved Matters Application and the approved Parameter Plans and Design Code. Planning Policy Context 4.9 This section summarises the planning policy which is relevant to the Reserved Matters Application, providing the context within which the proposals have evolved The policy context for this Reserved Matters Application comprises a wide range of national, regional and local policy documents and guidance. These are summarised below under the following headings: - National Planning Policy - Regional Policy - Local Plan Policy - Supplementary Planning Guidance 4.11 To assist the policy has been grouped across themes and a response provided for each theme addressed by this application. The themes are as follows; Design Transport Healthy Communities Water Resources Ecology Delivery The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 4.12 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published in March 2012 and replaces the previous suite of Planning Policy Statements, Planning Policy Guidance notes and some Circulars. The NPPF sets out

21 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 19 the Government s economic, environmental and social planning policies for England and articulates the Government s vision of sustainable development The overarching policy is the presumption in favour of sustainable development. The NPPF sets out the three 'pillars' for the planning system in order for it to deliver sustainable development: planning for prosperity (an economic role), planning for people (a social role) and planning for places (an environmental role). The presumption is central to delivering these ambitions, by creating a positive, pro-development framework, which for decision-taking is as follows: approving development proposals that accord with the development plan without delay; and where the development plan is absent, silent or relevant policies are out of date, granting permission unless: any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in this Framework taken as a whole; or specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted There are a number of other applicable policies contained within the NPPF which have helped to shape the Approved Development which are addressed in the following policy assessment and response The Core Strategy 4.15 Oxford City Council s Core Strategy was adopted in March The adopted Core Strategy sets out a spatial vision, strategic objectives and policy framework to guide development in Oxford over the next 20 years. In terms of delivering the site, paragraph of the Core Strategy sets out a commitment to preparing an Area Action Plan (AAP) for Barton. The Barton AAP was key to defining the scope of the outline planning approval. Barton Area Action Plan (AAP) 4.16 Oxford City Council formally adopted the Barton AAP on 17 th December The AAP does not replace any extant policies in the Local Plan and Core Strategy. The adopted AAP provided a framework within which the outline application proposals were developed including keys elements such as the proposed mix of uses; their layout and design; housing size, type and tenure, as well as proposals for supporting green, social and transport infrastructure The AAP is the key policy document against which the Approved Development has been assessed. The Approved Development has evolved to ensure that it fully accords with the Council s requirements, objectives and aspirations for the site as detailed at each stage of the AAP s development The AAP contains the following five overarching objectives for the site, stating that development at Barton should: 1. Deliver a strong and balanced community

22 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT Bring wider regeneration of neighbouring estates 3. Improve accessibility and integration 4. Encourage a low-carbon lifestyle 5. Introduce design that is responsive and innovative 4.19 The Spatial Vision for the Site outlines the desire to integrate the Approved Development with the neighbouring communities. In particular reference to this Reserved Matters Application for the Primary Street and Linear Park this includes physical connections to existing footpaths and linkages to existing areas of public open space including Play Barton. The Oxford Local Plan 4.20 The Oxford Local Plan contains a number of policies that are saved and relevant to this application.

23 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 21 Design Policy Provision 4.21 The NPPF confirms that the Government attaches great importance to the design of the built environment. Paragraph 58 sets out high level principles for design, stating that decisions should aim to ensure developments: - function well and add to the overall quality of the area over the lifetime of the development; - establish a strong sense of place; - optimise the potential of the site to accommodate development; - respond to local character and history; - create safe and accessible environments; and - are visually attractive by virtue of their architecture and landscaping Paragraph 66 of the NPPF expects that applicants will work closely with those directly affected by their proposals to evolve designs that take account of the views of the community. Proposals that can demonstrate this in developing the design of the new development should be looked on more favourably. - Policy CS18 of the Core Strategy - Urban Design, Townscape Character and the Historic Environment states that permission will only be granted for development that demonstrates high-quality urban design, including creating a strong sense of place and being easy to understand and move through. - Policy CS19 Community Safety requires that new developments promote safe and attractive environments, which reduce the opportunity for crime and the fear of crime. Development should also meet the principles of Secured by Design. - Within the Barton Area Action Plan policy BA13 Design states that a site-wide Design Code setting out design principles for the whole of the strategic development site must be prepared for agreement by the LPA in advance of any outline planning application. All reserved matters applications will need to include a design statement to demonstrate compliance with the approved illustrative Masterplan, the parameter plans and site-wide Design Code. - BA10 Local Centre required the provision of a local centre providing facilities including a primary school, community and recreation uses and retail units, together with housing. The Local Centre should be wellserved by public transport, will front on to the primary street, and there will be no direct vehicular access between the centre and the ring road. BA11 Community Hub required a new multi-purpose hub to include a primary school and scope for a range of social and community uses of the buildings and outside space, including playing pitches. The community hub should be well served by footpaths and cycle routes and accessible for public transport Following the adoption of the Core Strategy, a number of policies contained with the Oxford Local Plan were replaced. Nevertheless, the majority of Local Plan policies remain saved until such time as they

24 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 22 are replaced by policies contained in emerging Development Plan Documents. These saved policies continue to form part of the Council s Statutory Development Plan for the assessment of planning applications. CP.1 Development Proposals sets out the standards for design, materials, access, open space and landscape requirements to which all developments must adhere. CP.9 Creating Successful New Places requires that development proposals be designed to create a successful living and working environment and achieve high quality public spaces. CP.10 Siting of Development to Meet Functional Needs outlines the key development requirements in relation to access, circulation, outdoor needs, streetscape and building orientation. TR.3 Car-Parking Standards states that planning permission will only be granted for development that provides an appropriate level of car parking spaces no greater than the maximum car parking standards contained in Appendix 3 of the Local Plan. TR.4 Pedestrian and Cycle Facilities requires the provision of good access and facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, in compliance with the minimum cycle parking standards contained in Appendix 4 of the Local Plan The Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) is an online resource to provide additional guidance to the application of the NPPF, and was launched in March 2014, and is regularly updated: 4.25 The PPG restates that good design is an integral part of sustainable design and achieving good design is about creating places, buildings, or spaces that work well for everyone, look good, last well and will adapt to the needs of future generations Good design can help deliver a number of wider planning objectives and the following should be considered in the determination of applications: Local character Safe, connected and efficient streets A network of greenspaces (including parks) and public places Crime prevention Security measures Access and inclusion Efficient use of natural resources Cohesive & vibrant neighbourhoods.

25 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 23 Well-designed places should: Be functional; Support mixed uses and tenures; Include successful public spaces; Be adaptable and resilient; Have a distinctive character; Be attractive; and Encourage ease of movement Policy Response Design Principles This Reserved Matters Application has been prepared and detailed with reference to the approved Design Code and parameter plans of the outline planning application and this is demonstrated within the Design & Access Statement through an analysis of compliance with these approved documents. The Design Code will ensure that as this important scheme develops, it continues to meet high standards of design quality through the buildings themselves, as well as the surrounding urban and open spaces. Where design development improvements to the scheme set out in this application have been agreed with stakeholders this is clearly set out, along with the rationale for doing so together with a justification for the alternative approach for example the inclusion of on-plot parking on the eastern section of the Primary Street instead of on-street. The Design & Access Statement submitted as part of this application sets out the design development of the proposals and how they have been shaped by stakeholder engagement. Two meetings have been held with the Oxford Design Review Panel (ODRP) and focussed community engagement has helped shape the proposals. The details of this engagement and the design response, is set out within the Design & Access Statement and the Statement of Community Involvement. The site layout has been designed around the concept of a main street which provides a clear linkage between the community facilities, including the retail area, community hub incorporating a primary school, allotments, recreational open space and play facilities. The objective is to create a high quality primary street and linear park as focal elements for the site. The primary street has a number of public spaces where the community can converge in high quality surroundings. The residential units will be accessible from the Primary Street, shaped around a series of smaller scale streets, which are easily legible. The higher density development is focused along the primary street and around the commercial square to the west of the site which will establish a key character of the development in response to the approved design guide. The

26 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 24 retention of hedgerows and green spaces together with on-street car parking restrictions will create a pleasant environment in which to live. The proposals for the Linear Park have been shaped with the input from the local community of all ages to help create an attractive and enjoyable place for all in Barton and North Oxford. The Primary Street The Primary Street will provide a clear route through the site from the A40 junction to Barton Village Road and connect the community hub with the playing fields and the commercial square. The primary street will be a 20mph environment throughout its length. The Approved Development consists of a mixed use commercial centre on the western part of the site (to the south of the Primary Street) with a community hub on the eastern side of the site (to the north of the Primary Street) and is indicated on Approved Parameter Plan 2 Land Use. Both of these centres will front onto the Primary Street to create two civic squares (Commercial Square and Community Hub Square) to help create a sense of place and provide distinctive elements of the proposals. The squares will benefit from high quality public realm including mature planting and selected trees uplit to enhance the environment. Bus Stops are located within these squares to promote access for public transport; alongside this are car charging points, cycle stands and oasis rest areas, including benches, to help encourage sustainable travel choices. As the built phases are delivered, creating secondary routes, these squares will see a convergence of cycling and pedestrian routes running through the site as set out in the Design and Access Statement. These squares have been designed in line with the approved Design Code. The proposed primary street provides a legible access route, from west to east, through the centre of the development. The approved parameter plans indicate that higher density residential development of up to 3 storeys will be located along this route and adjacent to the A40 in order to provide a clear presence and boundary to the site. Apartment buildings of up to 5 storeys are proposed at the access junction with the A40 at the western end of the site, providing a prominent gateway entrance. The key community facilities are easily accessible from the Primary Street. The lower density residential development is located around smaller scale streets, which are interlinked to enable continuous circulation and encourage slower traffic speeds. The approved Design Code provides further principles for the detailed design of secondary and tertiary streets to access individual development plots. The buildings will be orientated along the Primary Street in order to ensure adequate natural surveillance of public open spaces and avoid the creation of secluded areas. The Linear Park The new park has been designed to provide a range of high quality and attractive environments for play, relaxation and engaging with nature. At the eastern end of the park the focus is formal recreation with a variety of playing pitches for the community, including a new synthetic turf pitch. Importantly, the park will link with Play Barton. Moving Westwards the park contains ponds with bridges and viewing/dipping platforms to allow engagement with the water and a marginal planting to enhance the environment created, add interest and provide ecological benefits for wildlife. Gabions will also provide places to sit by the waterside.

27 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 25 In response to consultation routes to promote access to Bayswater Brook are incorporated into the park. At its Western end the park is more naturalistic with a Boardwalk proposed to promote access and enjoyment of this more wooded environment that seeks to make best use of existing trees and coppices. As set out in the Design and Access Statement the park has been designed through Secure by Design Principles and in consultation with Oxford City Council. The Civic Squares The Commercial and Community Hub Squares have been designed to provide key focal points for Barton Park. Their design has been developed in conjunction with the Oxford Design Review Panel and this design development is set out in the Design and Access Statement. Both benefit from significant and generous landscaping and a public realm that will encourage these spaces to be well used and function as pleasant places to meet and be at the heart of the community. Both civic squares are designed to make a significant contribution to the distinctive character of Barton Park. Promoting pedestrian and cycle movement Pedestrian footpaths and pavements are provided along the Primary Street and Linear Park to enable safe and direct access between residential and public areas of the site. This includes a riverside walk along the northern boundary of the Linear Park. There will be direct pedestrian linkages between the Development Site and neighbouring Barton and Northway. Secure cycle parking facilities will be provided within both the residential areas (at a rate of 2 per dwelling (Houses and Flats up to 2 bedrooms) and 3 per dwelling (Houses and Flats up to 3 bedrooms) and at the community facilities, in compliance with the standards outlined in Appendix 4 of the Local Plan and Condition 17 of the Outline Consent. The car parking within the site has been minimised, in accordance with Local Plan policy, in order to encourage increased use of sustainable modes of transport, including cycling and buses. As agreed at Outline Stage, the Approved Development will provide a parking ratio of 1.69 (885 units with 1503 spaces (1256 allocated, 247 unallocated for residents) plus 149 visitor spaces off-street residential parking for vehicles, together with 90 customer car parking spaces at the retail centre. This complies with the maximum parking standards contained in Appendix 3 of the Local Plan, as secured under Condition 16 of the Outline Consent. There will also be parking controls in place to minimise levels of on-street parking. The Primary Street provides for 121 spaces including those in the commercial and community hub squares.

28 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 26 Transport Policy Provision 4.27 Paragraph 32 of the NPPF states that plans and development decisions should take account of whether: - The opportunities for sustainable transport modes have been taken up; - Safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all people; and - Improvements can be undertaken within the transport network that cost effectively limits the significant impacts of the development Paragraph 35 states that developments should be located and designed where practical to protect and exploit opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes Paragraphs 37 and 38 of the NPPF note that planning policies should aim for a balance of land uses within their area so that people can be encouraged to minimise journey lengths and that for larger scale residential developments in particular, planning policies should promote a mix of uses in order to provide opportunities to undertake day-to-day activities including work on site. Where practical, particularly within large-scale developments, key facilities such as primary schools and local shops should be located within walking distance of most properties Oxfordshire s third Local Transport Plan covers the period 2011 to The key policies of relevance to this application are as follows: - Policy OX4 Walking Strategy states that Oxfordshire County Council will improve the pedestrian environment to encourage people to walk to their destination, or be willing to walk further as part of a journey that is made mainly by public transport. - Policy OX5 Cycling Strategy states that Oxfordshire County Council will improve the environment for cycling to encourage more people to cycle, particularly for journeys to work and education - Policies OX6 and OX7 Bus Strategy state that Oxfordshire County Council will improve bus service and carry out infrastructure improvements and traffic management measures to encourage people to choose public transport over car travel. Core Strategy - Policy CS13 Supporting Access to New Development required the submission of a Transport Assessment and comprehensive Travel Plan. The application must prioritise access by walking, cycling and public transport. This policy also promotes the integration of the new development at Barton with the existing community and wider city, potentially including a new bus, cycle and pedestrian link across the A40. Policy CS13 states that the City Council will work with delivery partners to integrate new development at Barton with the existing urban fabric of the city, which could potentially include a new bus, cycle and pedestrian connection across the A40.

29 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 27 Barton Area Action Plan - BA1 Transforming the Ring-Road requires that traffic management and safety measures are put in place to reduce traffic speeds, the layout of homes along the ring-road frontage will be considered to facilitate integration and secure good quality living conditions, and the central reservation landscaping should be managed to facilitate safe movement and access. - BA5 Sustainable Travel requires the street layout and design of the site and the location of the local centre be planned to encourage people to walk, cycle and travel by public transport. The amount of car parking will be restricted to a level which reflects the sustainable location of the development. - BA6 Vehicle Access states that the primary vehicle access will be a new signal-controlled junction or roundabout on the A40 towards the western end of the development site. This will incorporate bus/emergency vehicle only movements between the ring-road and Northway. A further vehicle access point should be provided from Fettiplace Road and Barton Village Road. A primary street with low vehicle speeds will link the new junction and Fettiplace Road. - BA7 Pedestrian and Cycle Links states that new direct, safe and attractive cycle and pedestrian links will be provided as part of the strategic development including a crossing of the A40 ring-road, enhancement of the existing crossing between Barton and Headington, links between the new development and existing rights of way to the surrounding countryside, prioritising walking and cycling routes within development and a street network that is designed to fully cycle and pedestrian friendly. Policy Response Sustainable Travel A Transport Assessment and Travel Plan were prepared in support of the original outline application. These identified means to reduce reliance on the private car in favour of walking, cycling and public transport. The Design & Access Statement has been prepared to demonstrate how the design of the Primary Street has been developed to help encourage sustainable modes of transport. The Reserved Matters Application seeks to maximise the use of sustainable transport modes through a combination of methods including minimising on-street car parking, integrating new and existing bus routes and incorporating car charging points, cycle routes and cycle storage facilities throughout the site. Linkages The layout of the site itself has been designed around retaining existing public footpaths and creating new safe and secure footpaths through the site; linking proposed and existing residential areas with existing and proposed community facilities and recreational open spaces. The intention is for the existing bus and cycle routes to be extended within the development. A bus and emergency service vehicle only access through

30 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 28 Northway is to be provided as part of the junction on the A40. The Reserved Matters Application incorporates the inclusion of landscaping details for the signal controlled junction providing access to the Site from the A40 Northern Bypass road, including pedestrian and cycle crossings and a wide central bay within the carriageway. A changed road traffic environment The speed limit on this road will also be reduced to 50 mph (subject to Traffic Regulation Order procedures). A detailed layout of the A40 Junction was agreed at Outline Stage, minor revisions to which are the subject of an application for a non-material amendment (S96A) including the removal of one splitter island and minor amendments to the crossing arrangements for pedestrians and cyclists. Details of the hard and soft landscaping to the A40 junction are submitted for approval, and illustrate how the junction will be integrated into the Primary Street and wider development through a consistent palette of materials and planting arrangements. Encouraging Walking, Cycling and Journeys by Bus The Primary Street provides for a series of pedestrian and cycle routes along its length, and also includes cycle stands and public squares to help create an interactive public realm. The Primary Street directly links the proposed residential areas with the key community facilities including the retail centre, primary school, the park and sports facilities. The Linear Park has been designed to allow for clearly defined walking/cycling routes from the Primary Street and wider Barton. As the residential phases are developed these will create secondary and tertiary streets in line with the approved Design Code to complete this pedestrian and cycling network. The pedestrian footpaths along the Primary Street are well-lit and with good natural surveillance to encourage residents to walk between their homes and facilities in the community hub, including the proposed primary school, playing fields, and allotments and shopping area. The Reserved Matters Application helps support the Council s cycling strategy by incorporating a series of cycle routes along the Primary Street and Linear Park which will link with the community hub and commercial centre together with existing routes outside the development site. The A40 junction also includes the provision of a safe cycle crossing. The Proposed Development will support the Council s bus strategy by incorporating the extension of existing bus routes into the development site, via Barton and Northway. These will enable sustainable access to the community facilities by residents in neighbouring areas, and allow residents of the site to access the wider City by public transport including providing access to the John Radcliffe Hospital. Additionally as part of the Section 106, pursuant to the original outline planning consent, bus service improvements will be funded together with funding for enhancements to existing pedestrian routes including the Barton underpass. Travel Plans with future Reserved Matters Applications will set out how alternatives to car transport will be promoted within the development.

31 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 29 Existing consent and Parameter Plan compliance Detailed junction layouts for the A40, Barton Village Road and Harolde Place for access to/from the Site were approved at Outline Stage. In accordance with the requirements of Policy BA6, the key access is via a four arm signal controlled junction with the A40 and Foxwell Drive to the west of the site. The access to Northway via Foxwell Drive will be a dedicated access for bus and emergency service vehicles only. There will also be two additional access points from Barton Village Road. The proposed Primary Street links the junction with the A40 at the west of the site to Fettiplace Road to the east. As set out in the Design & Access Statement this corresponds to the approved Parameter Plan 4 (Movement and Access) and the details of the approved Design Code. Parking Car parking within the development is provided at an appropriate level to ensure adequate (but not maximum) provision in order that cars do not have to resort to parking on kerbs and other spaces. On-street parking will be controlled through a Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) in order to encourage use of the available sustainable transport options. Further detail setting out how the primary street has been designed to accommodate the appropriate number of parking spaces and how the balance of spaces will enable the effective working of the community hub square is set out within the Design & Access Statement and Movement Strategy submitted as part of this application.

32 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 30 Healthy Communities Policy Provision 4.31 Paragraph 69 of the NPPF states that planning should facilitate social interaction and the creation of healthy, inclusive communities. Specifically, planning policies and decisions should aim to achieve places which promote opportunities for meetings between members of the community, who might not otherwise come into contact with each other, and safe and accessible environments and developments The NPPF seeks to deliver the social, recreational and cultural facilities which local communities need Accordingly, paragraph 70 states that planning policies and decisions should: plan positively for the provision and use of shared space, community facilities and other local services; ensure that established shops, facilities and services are able to develop and modernise in a way that is sustainable, and retained for the benefit of the community; and ensure an integrated approach to considering the location of housing, economic uses and community facilities and services In Policy CS3 of the Core Strategy, both Barton and Northway are identified as regeneration areas. Within identified regeneration areas, the Core Strategy suggests development should contribute to improving health and social inclusion, reducing physical isolation, improving education and skills as well as improving opportunities for training and employment Within the Barton Area Action Plan policy BA4 Public Open Space requires the creation of public open space which is at least 10% of the size of the strategic development site, including the linear park along Bayswater Brook which is well-linked to the new development. Biodiversity should also be enhanced. This policy requires the submission and implementation of a comprehensive management and maintenance plan for the linear park and other open space. Policy Response Community facilities Through the provision of community sports and social facilities; a new Linear Park that will link to Play Barton and a new community hub which includes a primary school, the Approved Development will meet the aspirations of Policy CS3. These areas and facilities have been designed in order that they will be accessible and available for use by residents of neighbouring Barton and Northway, thereby assisting the regeneration of these areas without compromising the vitality and viability of nearby centres, such as that at Underhill Circus. The future provision of community space within the proposed Community Hub can provide

33 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 31 the foundation for learning and outreach services for residents of both Barton and Northway. A new park for Barton The Reserved Matters Application includes the details the Linear Park and footpath which runs along Bayswater Brook in the north of the site. The Linear Park alone comprises some 3.83 ha, equating to 10% of the Site area. This park will be well-connected with the proposed residential areas through a series of footpath linkages, as well as adjacent residential areas. Both the community hub and commercial squares and wider public realm have been designed to focus on social interaction and links to the park which will help to create a healthy, safe, enjoyable and pleasant environment for people to live, work, learn and visit. Future Reserved Matters Applications will deal with detailed proposals relating to new and replacement sports facilities, following close liaison with existing users and the local community. Detailed plans are submitted for approval, as well as a Design & Access Statement and Statement of Community involvement which set out how the Linear Park has been designed and how the views and ideas of community have influenced and been integrated into the proposed design. The long-term management and maintenance of the Park is secured through the Section 106 legal agreement. The management and maintenance of subsequent areas of open space elsewhere within the Site will be addressed under Condition12 which requires a Landscape Management Plan prior to the occupation of each phase. Training and Employment The LLP are committed to supporting measures to provide opportunities for local people to benefit from job creation and training through a Training and Employment Strategy (Condition 37) and provisions within the Section 106 Legal Agreement. The LLP will seek to work with partners to develop and agree a strategy with Oxford City Council to achieve this, including existing Community organisations and with contractors and plot developers for the site.

34 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 32 Water Resources / Flood Risk Policy Provisions 4.36 Paragraph 103 of the NPPF requires that when determining planning applications, local planning authorities should ensure that development is not at risk of flooding or increases flood risk elsewhere. They should only consider development appropriate in areas at risk of flooding where a flood risk assessment demonstrates that the most vulnerable development is located in areas of lowest flood risk, and development is appropriately flood resilient and resistant Within the Barton Area Action Plan the following policies are key provisions; - BA16 Surface Water Drainage requires the site to be designed as a Sustainable Urban Drainage System. - BA17 Water Supply and Wastewater Drainage requires the submission of an on-site and off-site water network supply and drainage strategy to ensure appropriate upgrades are in place ahead of occupation of the development. Policy Response A Flood Risk Assessment accompanied the original outline planning application to demonstrate that the development would not increase flood risk within the Site or elsewhere. The proposed Reserved Matters Application is in line with the approved WSP Flood Risk Assessment May 2013 (FRA) as required under Condition 27 of the Outline Planning Consent. Additionally this Reserved Matters Applications proposes a number of key features (Condition 25) to enable the delivery of the Site Wide Surface Water Strategy (Condition 24) including the creation of swales, below ground storage provision and attenuation ponds. Condition 24 sets out the requirement for a Site Wide Surface Water Drainage Scheme, with the delivery secured through Condition 25 to ensure the scheme is implemented across each phase of the development. Approvals of details are submitted for Condition 25 within this application, together with Condition 24 for consideration alongside this Reserved Matters Application, and are cross-referenced within the Scheme of Enabling Infrastructure Works, notably the creation of the attenuation ponds which interrelates with the detailed design of the Linear Park, and the swales which run along the Greenways. A Foul Water Drainage Scheme has been produced alongside this Reserved Matters Application to address Condition 26 of the Outline Planning Permission. A new trunk sewer with storage capacity will be installed under the proposed Primary Street.

35 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 33 Ecology Policy Provisions 4.38 Paragraph 118 of the NPPF states that when determining planning applications local planning authorities should aim to conserve and enhance biodiversity by applying a series of principles, including avoiding, mitigating or compensating for significant harm caused by a development, and encouraging opportunities to incorporate biodiversity in and around developments. Additional policy is provided with the Core Strategy and the Oxford Local Plan as follows; - Core Strategy Policy CS12 Biodiversity requires that developments protect, and where possible enhance, Oxford s biodiversity. - Oxford Local Plan Policy NE.6 Oxford s Watercourses requires that waterside development proposals complement and enhance the waterside setting, and protect or, where appropriate, create wildlife habitats and public access along the watercourse. - Oxford Local Plan Policy NE.15 Loss of Trees and Hedgerows states that planning permission will not be granted for development proposals which include the removal of trees, hedgerows and other valuable landscape features where this would have a significant adverse impact upon public amenity or economic interest. Policy Response The Ecological Mitigation and Management Strategy (EMMS) submitted alongside this RMA and pursuant to Conditions 38 and 39 of the outline planning permission, sets out the principles for the future ecological management of the site. The management approach seeks to ensure that both retained and newly created habitat is managed longer term to benefit biodiversity on site. Key mitigation measures include: Retaining the most valuable bat foraging/commuting habitat and retaining trees offering highest potential for roosting bats, where possible. In addition, lighting within the Linear Park will be carefully managed to ensure the habitat remains suitable for a range of bat species, and is connected to landscape features such as the Bayswater Brook; Where possible, habitats of value (i.e. trees, hedgerows and Bayswater Brook) are retained and protected to maintain suitable nesting opportunities for birds. In addition, works will be completed with due regard to seasonal timing and pre-commencement checks to prevent disturbance of active nests; Although grassland on site will be lost, provision is being made to replace it off-site in line with Condition 36 which will be submitted following this application. Minimising disturbance to the Bayswater Brook during the operational phase to mitigate

36 Barton Oxford LLP In support of Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission 13/01383/OUT 34 effects on otters through appropriate positioning of recreational access and no use of after dark lighting in this area; and Protection measures for Sidlings Copse will be submitted as required under Condition 35. Measures are also being incorporated within the Linear Park including: Habitats associated with grassland hedgerows and trees to be actively managed during the operational phase to benefit biodiversity; Provision of additional bat roost opportunities; Extending and enhancing habitat suitable for water voles (i.e. along Bayswater Brook) which would mean that should this species return to the area there will be an increased habitat resource available; Newly created habitat will include native shrub and tree planting including fruit trees and communal areas will be managed to benefit biodiversity, providing additional suitable habitat for nesting birds; Creation of wetland habitat within the linear park will be actively managed to benefit biodiversity and a variety species. The Bayswater Brook, which runs along the northern boundary of the Application Site, and the surrounding flood plain, will be preserved and enhanced to provide a riverside walk with provision of improved habitats for wildlife. An Ecological Management and Mitigation Strategy (EMMS) will be submitted pursuant to Conditions 38 and 39 of the Outline Consent. Being agricultural land, the site currently contains a number of trees and hedgerows. As many of these as possible will be retained on the site, forming boundaries between different land uses and dwelling types. The Arboricultural Impact Assessment submitted as part of this application sets out where a limited number of additional trees to those consented at outline stage require removal. There will be a net increase in tree cover at Barton Park as a result of the proposals. Further detail is set out within the accompanying Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Tree Protection Plans (within the Arboricultural Method Statement), submitted pursuant to Condition 11 of the Outline Consent within this application.

64 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR APPLICANTS WHERE AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED 1. APPLICATIONS FOR PLANNING PERMISSION, APPROVAL OF RESERVED MATTERS, LISTED BUILDING CONSENT OR CONSERVATION AREA CONSENT. If you object to the Local Planning Authority s decision to grant permission, approval or consent subject to conditions, you may appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment under Section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 within 6 months of the date of this notice. With regard to approved applications concerning listed buildings in a conservation area, you may appeal under Section 20 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Regulation 8 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Regulations Please make your appeal using a form from The Planning Inspectorate, Customer Support Unit, Room 3/15 Eagle Wing, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6PN (Tel ) The Secretary of State may allow a longer period for you to give notice of appeal, but will normally only do so if there are special circumstances that excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal. The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it appears that the Local Planning Authority could have granted permission for the proposed development only subject to the conditions it imposed, bearing in mind the statutory requirements, the development order, and any directions given under the order. In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the Local Planning Authority made its decision on the grounds of a direction that he or she had given. It may be that planning permission, conservation area consent or listed building consent is granted subject to conditions, whether by the Local Planning Authority or by the Secretary of State for the Environment; but you, as the landowner, claim that the land is no longer fit for reasonably beneficial use in its existing state and you cannot make it fit for such use by carrying out the permitted development. If so, you may serve a purchase notice on Oxford City Council requiring the Council to buy your interest in the land. You can do this under Section 137 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1980 or Section 32 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Regulation 9 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Regulations 1990 in respect of listed buildings and buildings in conservation areas. You may claim compensation against the Local Planning Authority if the Secretary of State has refused or granted permission subject to conditions, either on appeal or when the application was referred to her or him. Compensation is payable in the circumstances set out in: (a) Section 114 and Part II of Schedule 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990; or (b) Section 27 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Regulation 9 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Regulations 1990 in respect of listed buildings. 2. ADDITIONAL NOTES ON LISTED BUILDING CONSENT 1 If you wish to modify the development referred to in your application or to vary it in any way, you must make another application. 2 This notice refers only to the grant of listed building consent and does not entitle you to assume that the City Council has granted its consent for all purposes: (a) If you have applied for planning permission under Section 57(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, we will send you a separate notice of decision; (b) We will send you a separate notice about plans you have submitted under the Building Regulations 2000; (c) If the development for which listed building consent has been granted includes putting up a building for which you have to submit plans under the Building Regulations 2000, you should not do any work connected with erecting that building until you have satisfied yourself that you have complied with Section 219 of the Highways Act 1980 or that they do not apply to this building. 3 Even if you have gained listed building consent, you must comply with any restrictive covenants that affect the land referred to in the application. 3. APPLICATION FOR CONSENT TO DISPLAY ADVERTISEMENTS If the applicant is aggrieved by the decision of the Local Planning Authority to grant consent, subject to conditions, he or she may appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment in accordance with Regulation 17 and Part 3 of Schedule 4 of the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007 within eight weeks of the receipt of this notice.
