    Comments on original application: The council has no objections to this application but asks that thought is given to the provision of open space (such as a "green garland" as per Didcot Garden Town proposals)to prevent coalescence of Milton & Harwell. The council also requests that consideration is given to the continuation of Harwell footpath 7 so that it carries on past the parish boundary to provide a pedestrian route through the developments at Grove Road, Harwell and this proposed development at Milton Hill.

    February 6, 2018 P18/V0112/RM Major Reserved Matters application re: P17/V0348/O for layout, landscaping at Long Reach, Didcot Road (19 homes)
    No Objection - comments
    No objections but council asked for the following points to be given consideration: sole access/exit is at Didcot Road - the council has previously expressed concerns about this but those concerns have not been addressed (please see original comments at the end of this submission). There is no cycle path left of the exit onto Didcot Road travelling towards Harwell, and visibility is not ideal when turning right towards Didcot. Footpath and cycle paths need to be improved for this sole access/exit from the site to be made safer. Please confirm boundary treatments potential for cross-boundary footpath and cycle access to sites on either side of the application site to give safe connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists - at present it is proposed to provide only 1 shared surface access from Didcot Road into the site - Didcot Road does not have good footpath or cycleways along its whole length (see comments above). Please also re-think the shared surface itself as recent local experience has found they do not slow traffic allocation of affordable homes should be restricted to people with Harwell connections drainage issues - if the ditch which is currently in existence just outside the north-east boundary is for surface run-off from that section of Great Western Park, please ensure capacity/flood risk is given careful consideration council is pleased that some open space has been provided within the site Comments on original outline application P17/V0348/O - The Council has concerns over access and highway safety and does not want to see lots of roads accessing small developments from the B9943 betweeen the UTC junction and the new Harwell Link Road. A site of this size should be accessed from GWP or Valley Park, and not the the main road, and east-west integration should be sought. Access to the B4493 is close to the existing GWP exit and a bus stop. If it was considered dangerous to have a right turn into GWP when approaching from Harwell, then this access will be just as dangerous. If allowed, a suitable highway design (integrated with Valley Park plans) is needed to ensure safe movement along the B4493 for cyclists and pedestrians and horses.

    Objects
    Planning Committee discussed the amendment, and commented as follows: Revised travel documents do not address the parking issues raised in the last two sets of PC comments. High Street remains congested and at times dangerous and the proposed options of parking in side streets are unacceptable. PC supports local resident objections, especially the detailed comments from 33 Loder Rd concerning parking and potential traffic movements resulting from visiting staff, not enumerated in the traffic reports. 25 April: No comment on latest Technical Note. For previous comments please see the responses posted on the VWHDC website.

    April 25, 2017 P17/V0348/O Major Outline application at Long Reach, Didcot Road- demolish existing dwelling, erect up to 19 new dwellings with associated parking, open public space, landscaping and access. AMENDMENT received March 2017 - access, tree survey & traffic data. AMENDMENR reeived April 2017 - ground contamination report
    Objects
    Planning Committee 28 Feb recommended that the PC objects. Final comments agreed by PC on 14 March as follows;

    Harwell PC objects to this application.

    The Council has concerns over access and highway safety and does not want to see lots of roads accessing small developments from the B9943 betweeen the UTC junction and the new Harwell Link Road. A site of this size should be accessed from GWP or Valley Park, and not the the main road, and east-west integration should be sought.

    Access to the B4493 is close to the existing GWP exit and a bus stop. If it was considered dangerous to have a right turn into GWP when approaching from Harwell, then this access will be just as dangerous. If allowed, a suitable highway design (integrated with Valley Park plans) is needed to ensure safe movement along the B4493 for cyclists and pedestrians and horses.

    28 March Response to amendment

    Amendment does nothing to alleviate concerns about adding additional access roads to the B4193. Changing the visibility splays does not help. What guarantee is there that the trimmed hedges on land not under OCC or applicants control will remain trimmed?

    Objects
    Proposal would result in an extension of the existing built up area of the village along the Holloway and would have a significantly urbanising impact on the rural character of the lane, which would be exacerbated by the higher ground level of the site, and by the proposed tarmacking of the lane itself. The siting of the proposed dwelling up to the common boundary with the highway, and the design and scale of the dwelling would result in a prominent and dominant addition to the lane and a significant incursion into the AONB.

    Objects
    Neighbours PC objected in July, Nov 2015 and Jan 2016
    Headline are
    • The application imposes an urban density, design and layout onto a traditional village, with no sympathy for its surroundings and hence it does not conform to saved policy H15 and contravenes saved policy DC1.
    • Proposed traffic solutions are not acceptable.
    • Although improved, layout adjacent to existing houses in the Croft is un-neighbourly.
    • The application is premature, being submitted before the Vale Local Plan has been inspected, or approved.

    Another house means an increase of cars in Kings Lane - a narrow road road where parking is already a problem. Access is at the narrowest part of the lane where sweep (ability to turn into and out of the parking bays) and visibility are constricted. If approved, condition requested to ensure safe and clear access to Kings Lane throughout the construction period - road must never be blocked for access by emergency vehicles (might be impossible to achieve; another reason for objection)

    26 Jan: See comment on P15/V2962/FUL which suggests consideration is given to reversing the layout of the shops so that the frontages face the parking area, rather than the main road. This is more in keeping with small retail developments (Brasenose Road, Cockcroft Road) with parking in front of the shops. It would also provide a better aspect for residents of the proposed care home.

This is more in keeping with small retail developments (Brasenose Road, Cockcroft Road) with parking in front of the shops. It would also provide a better aspect for residents of the proposed care home.

    Building blocks (as illustrated in the LVI) re massive and overbearing and unsympathetic to the area. Their significant impact on neighbours must be considered.

    5 Oct 2015. Revised plans, and a Landscape and Visual Assessment were issued.
    27 Oct 2015 First response (and S106 requests) endorsed. Additional comments are
    * For the appropriate planning approach to building in the AONB, please refer to comments made by the AONB Board and CPRE with respect to applications in Chilton in the AONB.
    *Without roof heights, the Visual Impact Assessment is fairly meaningless, especially for houses fronting the Reading Road
    *Making the northern houses face the Reading Road has changed the rest of the internal layout to make it less coherent. No rationale is presented for this (or indeed any other) change
    *Recognise the improvement in the positioning of the Public Open Space

Heavy traffic should be kept away from residential homes. The industrial units proposed do not support the ethics of Science Vale - at the very least they should have roofs fitted with solar panels.
