| PC Comments | Amendments Aug - sent Sep 22 - no objections, use sustainable materials Amended application June 2022 - no comments Original application March 2022 - No objection, the Council has some concerns regarding this application: The PC is concerned about the cumulative effect on traffic in the area, and the quantum of vehicle provision proposed will exacerbate the stress on Rowstock and the A4185. PC would like to ask for contributions to improving route 544 towards Wantage, in particular the sections next to campus. Also that site owners look at improving the cycling connections on campus as there are no protected routes between the A4185 and this site. With ~500 new car parking spaces this will increase the traffic on these roads. PC asks that the active travel focus of both Vale and OCC is taken into account when deciding this application. The plans only indicate 15 electric vehicle charging points. This is inadequate given the move towards fully electric vehicles and net zero, and should be increased. PC would like to see mature trees retained as much as possible and would also like the applicant to consider a grey water system using rainwater for toilets to reduce water consumption. PC echos the concerns in the pre-application advice that better active travel connections to adjacent development sites should be provided to encourage active travel between them. |
