    No Objection - comments
    Response and S106 requests 4.8.2020 Application number: P20/V1334/FUL Proposal: Full planning application for the construction of 76no. dwellings with associated infrastructure, open space and landscaping following approval of an outline application for 63no. dwellings (P17/V2777/O). Location: Land East of Meadow View Didcot Road Harwell Response from Harwell Parish Council: The Council does not object to this application but asks that the following comments are taken into account by planners; Pedestrian and cycle connections to neighbouring developments, such as that proposed adjacent to the north east, and Valley Park adjacent to the south west, should be maximised according to the OCC Local Transport Plan 4 policies 19 & 34 . The narrow footpath along Didcot Road towards Harwell village is in a poor state and should be improved for pedestrians and cyclists, preferably to include separately-defined lanes for cyclists and pedestrians, matching recommended OCC cycling standards that the path width be 3m (Section 3.4.9 Oxfordshire Cycling Design Standards ). A shared exit onto Didcot Road between this development and the adjacent one immediately to the north east would be preferable to the separate exits shown on the plans, especially with the proximity to the roundabout with Harwell Link Road. The shared exit onto the Didcot Road, should provide priority to and for cyclists and pedestrians over cars exiting the development. These measures should be in place prior to development beginning. S106 Requests If the District Council is minded to grant planning permission, the following additional comments are made by the Parish Council. Recognising these three tests: • necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms • directly related to the development; and • fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development, the PC requests consideration of the following as being necessary to make the application acceptable in planning terms. There are several community projects in the village which will provide benefit to the residents of this proposal, without which the proposal would not provide a viable and sustainable community for its residents. The council would like to make the same requests as in the original application with a 20% increase based on the additional homes in the development, plus a 9.26% increase based on inflation 2017-2019, with the exception of the Community recreational facilities request in which the council has taken note of later feedback from residents leading to updated projects for the recreation ground. This latter amount has been calculated using the formula 76/1877 multiplied by total cost. Summary of new amounts requested Community Centre – Village Hall redevelopment £34,271 The Harwellian Club - enhancement project £ 8,143 Harwell Bowls Club – enhancement project £ 977 Harwell Scout Group - Refurbishment project £ 5,130 Community recreational facilities – new equipment £ 4,512 Total £53,033 Community Centre The S106 for P17/V277/0 agreed a contribution of £26,513 to be used toward the refurbishment of Harwell Village Hall. This project is still not fully funded, and so a revised contribution of £34,271 is requested. This figure is based on the original contribution uplifted by 20% to allow for the increased number of dwellings, and by a further 9.26% increase to allow for inflation since the original sum was agreed. The hall includes an office for the parish council, helping it to engage more with the parish. The residents of the Meadow View development will benefit directly from the two halls, providing space to hire for parties and private events, and a venue for meetings and societies, as well as the many classes which are run during the week. Discounts are offered to parish residents. The Harwellian Club (formerly the Royal British Legion Club) Funding requested for improvements to the Club building (formerly the Harwell British Legion Clubhouse). Total cost of project is £100,000. The Club was formed following the disaffiliation of the former Royal British Legion Club which has been established on the Recreation Ground for over 30 years. The decision to disaffiliate was taken so as to facilitate the Club’s increased use by the whole village community and membership of the Club is now increasing, reversing the trend of the last decade. The Club’s ambition is to improve the building for increased community and village use. The Club facilities are crucial for the increasing number of village inhabitants – pre-Covid-19 restrictions, the Club was available for use all day, every day, providing: • community lunches or tea & cake on alternate Tuesdays and once a month on a Sunday; • host venue for pilates classes; • meeting venue for many other village organisations such as the Harwell Feast Committee, local RBL Committee, and village sports groups – Tennis, Bowls, Football and Rugby; and • host venue for Whist Drives and Charity Fund Raising Events – Macmillan Cancer, Poppy Walks etc. The club’s aim is to widen access for the community and village and provide a social hub for village activities which are currently not provided for by any other facility. The budgeted cost of improvements is £100,000. Currently the Club has provided an open air section to comply with Covid-19 rules following re-opening. A contribution towards these improvements of at least £8,143 is sought. Harwell Bowls Club Funding requested for refurbishments to the clubhouse, including • extend the ladies and gents changing rooms/toilets of our clubhouse by 1 metre • refurbish the inside of the changing rooms with new toilet cubicles and urinals Total cost of project is £12000. There is no other outdoor bowls club in Harwell parish. S106 funding has already been received from local developers, leaving a shortfall of £1,380. A contribution of £977 is requested. Harwell Scout Group Funding requested for refurbishment of the Harwell Recreation Ground Pavilion as a Scout Hut and Youth Facility. Total cost of project is £63,000. The scout group has recently been allocated the pavilion by the parish council, but it needs extensive refurbishment so that it meets the needs of the wider community. The scout group wishes to encourage use of the building by casual user groups such as Harwell Feast Committee and local children’s football teams, as well as adapting it to the current and future needs of the scouts. Grant funding and fundraising will be sought in order to achieve this, and £5,130 is requested. Community recreational facilities The current play area at Harwell recreation ground was refurbished by the parish council in 2013, following fundraising and grant applications, but more recently, following community engagement, the council has identified a need for more facilities, such as outdoor gym equipment, a pump track, perimeter cycling/running track, new play equipment and basketball area. Total cost of this additional equipment is approximately £117,860. The council is seeking S106 funding towards these projects to enable it to provide the requested facilities. Further S106 funds should shortly be available from developers of The Willows (£2,000) and Reading Road (£8,000) but this leaves a substantial shortfall. A contribution of £4,772 is requested. i Policy 19- Oxfordshire County Council will encourage the use of modes of travel associated with healthy and active lifestyles Policy 34 – Oxfordshire County Council will require the layout and design of new developments to proactively encourage walking and cycling, especially for local trips, and allow developments to be served by frequent, reliable and efficient public transport ii Section 3.4.9 Oxfordshire Cycling Design Standards Shared paths 3.4.8 It is not always appropriate, possible or necessary to provide fully segregated off-carriageway paths. For lightly used paths or where space is constrained a shared path will suffice. Extra care will be required to integrate shared paths with the carriageway for cycle users while appropriately catering for the needs of pedestrians and other users, including equestrians where appropriate. 3.4.9 Usage should dictate the width of such paths, with 3 metres the recommended width, 2.5 metres the minimum. Paths wider than 3 metres should normally be segregated rather than shared. Planning Committee 23.7.2020 comments - Reiterate previous comments on original application, re: cycle path, with the addition of the comment “matching recommended OCC cycling standards that the path width be 3m, (section 3.9). The shared exit onto the Didcot Road, should provide priority to and for cyclists and pedestrians over cars exiting the development, and that these measures should be in place prior to development beginning” Planning Committee 20.8.2020 (amendments) - No objections to amendments but Committee wished to stress that comments on original application still stand. Committee welcomed the condition requested by OCC re: cycle/footway improvements but urged that the improvements are made before building work commences as the existing pavement is in an unsatisfactory condition and flooding is common (OCC asked for work to be completed before first house is occupied).

    Objects
    25.8.2020 - Council OBJECTS to this application on the basis that the Masterplan cited in the application has no relevance as it has not been approved by VWHDC. The projected increase in traffic, excessive number of parking spaces and lack of encouragement for or investment in public transport are unacceptable. Cycle lanes end at the entrance to Diamond instead of reaching Fermi Gate. Council supports the comments made by Chilton Parish Council. 19.11.2020 amendment - Objection. Committee wished to reiterate objections to the original application as these have not been addressed, and there are 2300 parking spaces but only 1900 estimated employees. A travel plan should be in place before any construction work begins, directing construction traffic away from Rowstock.

    Comments 20.8.2020 (no objections) - Concerns that the extension may impact on neighbours, creating some loss of light, and that loss of garden land may adversely affect the occupiers of the property, and also suggested the extension should have a sloping roof rather than a square one.

    September 22, 2020 P20/V2219/FUL  Removal of condition 9 & variations to drawings at Orchard Way
    Objects
    Council OBJECTS to the removal of Condition 9 on the understanding that the occupants of 33 Orchard Way will remove the spaces within their property curtilage once the access road to the development is in use. Having considered considered the original application which included provision of 2 off-road parking spaces for owners/occupiers of 33 Orchard Way against the amendment proposed to remove Condition 9, the council decided that removal of the parking spaces from the site is not acceptable because of the danger to drivers and pedestrians if current parking spaces within 33 Orchard Way are the only option available to the owners.

    No Comment
    Original application April 2020 (PC meeting 29.4.2020 - No objections Amended application 9 June 2020 - Objection Additional car parking on campus, encourages car trips. Already over 75% of work trips to site are single use car. Draft Harwell Campus Framework Masterplan has shared pedestrian/cycle routes on both 8th St and Thompson Avenue bounding this car park but the development means there will be insufficient space for this provision. OCC cycle design guidance has a clear minimum width for a shared pedestrian/cycle facility of 2.5m and this scheme in its current form would prevent that. The location of the main campus bus route along 8th street means that unsegregated provision on carriageway would not be appropriate along this route. Landscape softening of the scheme is inadequate and both these concerns could be alleviated with a small reduction in the number of parking spaces at the edge. Amended application June/July 2020 (drainage & biodiversity) - no comments on the amendment
    May 28, 2020 P19/V3214/FUL  Replace proposed Holloway House with 2 smaller dwellings at Land at Plot 5, Reading Road AMENDMENT May 2020
    Objects
    Objection to original application February 2020 on following grounds – The application exceeds the original approved maximum number of homes at the site in a previous application the higher number of homes was rejected Another house would lead to an increase in the number of vehicles ingressing/egressing the site There is significantly more hardstanding in this application, and these non-permeable surfaces will contribute to increased run-off affecting Reading Road and residents living on the opposite side of the road Paragraph 7.4 gives a nonsensical explanation Amendment May 2020 - Reiterate original objections. Ask planners to ensure driveway is permeable to minimise surface run-off onto Reading Road

    No Objection - comments
    Response to original application July 2019 - Council has no objections but asks that ecologically sustainable methods & materials are used where possible and that electric vehicle charging points should be included as standard. Response to amended application November 2019 - Objects PC echoes the concerns of the landscape architect comments in terms of the hard appearance of the site. Suitable tree planting should be used to soften the appearance, but this will probably require a reduction in density. Tree planting should include sufficient space for the root zone. We object to the height of the proposed houses at almost 9m tall seems excessive for a 2 storey, particularly in a location surrounded by lower properties. The height of the properties should more closely match the surrounding properties in Orchard Way. The PC requests that houses constructed should be built to the highest possible sustainability standards, including solar panels. Response to amended plans December 2019 - The council objects to this application. Council welcomes the reduction made to the height of the properties, but still fees that they are too high for the surroundings; also still concerned that the frontage is quite hard especially comparing to existing properties in Orchard Way. Planting fruit trees in the back gardens, does nothing to soften the appearance of the property frontages. Council would like to re-iterate its previous requests that sustainable materials are used where possible. Response to amended plans March 2020 - Council still has concerns about the height of the houses, but welcomes the improvements to landscaping and ecology.

    Comments on amended application 11.2.2020 - The council still has concerns about the lack of solar panels – surely it would be preferential to fit these at the building stage rather than later? - and although acknowledging the OCC comments, would like to raise concerns that the number of disabled parking spaces is still low. The council is happy to withdraw its original objections to the application provided that the planning conditions suggested by planners are guaranteed. If this is not possible the council would reiterate its objections. Comments on original application 21.11.2019 - Objection to plans as they currently stand. The PC was surprised to see only 4 disabled parking spaces given the nature of the development and the recent extension of the blue badge scheme. This would appear completely inadequate. There also appears to be no space set aside for mobility vehicle storage/charging. The flat roof would seem an ideal spot for solar panels and electric charging points should be provided in the car park. The PC agrees with the Urban Design Officer’s comments that the height of the building should be reduced to 2 storeys and also notes the detrimental effect of the building on light to neighbouring properties, particularly during the winter months.

    Objects
    The applicant minimises the changes from the original approved application and in particular the extensions to the North face of the building where a single gable is replaced by 2 plus a dormer window. The chimney has also been raised above the ridgeline of the property. Council reiterates its previous objections and suggests that these plans add substantial bulk to a property in a very sensitive part of the parish.

    No Objection - comments
    Amendment August 2019 - Council felt that comments on original application still stand. Comments on original application; Council does not object but has some concerns which it would like to be addressed; there is a lack of provision for cyclists and pedestrians, including wheelchair users, along that section of Didcot Road - a safe walkway/cycleway is required as well as safe access to a crossing point on Didcot Road speed of traffic is a concern - the Transport Assessment states that Didcot Road has a 40 mph speed limit, and traffic has been monitored at under this limit but over 30mph. Didcot Road has a 30mph speed limit. If traffic has been consistently recorded as passing at more than 30 mph this increases concerns for cyclists and pedestrians. The council will be writing to Highways to ask that this issue is urgently investigated.

    No Objection - comments
    Comments on July amendments - PC notes the updated plans but is still concerned that the vehicular entrance on Eighth St still appears to require cyclists and pedestrians to give way to cars and affects the amenity of the combined cycle/footpath. Harwell Campus has a poor record for car use with ~75% of commuting trips made by private car. Development like this which degrades the meagre facilities available is contrary to the spirit of the cycling and walking design guidance and do nothing to reverse this trend of car use. Comments on April amendments - no objections but original comments still apply. Comments on original application - No objections but request that the continuity of the combined pedestrian/cycleway is not affected, and that priority is given to users of this pathway over vehicles

    No Objection - comments
    Following amendment, council responded that previous comments still apply or have only been partially addressed. Comments on original application - The Council does not object to this application but asks that the following comments are taken into account by planners; Pedestrian and cycle connections to neighbouring developments, such as that proposed adjacent to the north east, and Valley Park adjacent to the south west, should be maximised according to the OCC Local Transport Plan 4 policies 19 & 34i. The narrow footpath along Didcot Road towards Harwell village is in a poor state and should be improved for pedestrians and cyclists, preferably to include separately-defined lanes for cyclists and pedestrians. A shared exit onto Didcot Road between this development and the adjacent one immediately to the north east would be preferable to the separate exits shown on the plans, especially with the proximity to the roundabout with Harwell Link Road.

    May 14, 2019 P19/V1011/O  7 homes at 25 Orchard Way
    Objects
    Neighbours Council objects to this application on the following grounds; concerns about amount of extra traffic which will be created on Orchard Way two-storey homes would not be in keeping with the adjacent properties which are bungalows, and the development would change the character of the immediate area, having a detrimental effect on the locality. The height of the proposed buildings would have a severe visual impact on the current rural character of the site, bordering the recreation ground. The council asks also that neighbours' comments are taken into consideration. no formal request has yet been made to the council regarding a possible permanent access onto the recreation ground at the boundary of the development, although Feltham Construction has approached the council informally. Any permanent access from the development would constrain the types of use of the recreation ground in that section (eg if the council wished to install new play/sports equipment there)

    No objection to amended application. PC withdraws its objection to original application. Original comments on 9.11.2018 - No objections to the science buildings but objections on associated infrastructure. The plan to remove the bus station should have alternative arrangements presented as part of this application. The PC have concerns regarding bus movements across campus and the effect on cycling and pedestrian amenity. The new carpark is excessive for the site. The campus, as a whole, struggles to meet the aims of the traffic plan in terms of targets for non-car travel to work, a large part of which is due to the abundance of free parking on site. Direct bus services to/from Abingdon are very poor (2 in am, 1 in pm) and it was disappointing to read in the transport assessment that no further investment in the bus services to/from site was felt to be required. This part of the application was felt to go against the aims of LTP4. The carpark proposed would remove undeveloped land from the AONB, and on principle we object to this. Increased car movements from Fermi Avenue along the perimeter road towards the new car park will sever the cycle route along Fermi Avenue that currently has no crossing facility, a Tiger crossing to enable cyclists/pedestrians to progress on the path at peak periods would be welcome. Illumination from any car parking developed should minimise light pollution in the AONB. No comments re: amendments October 2018.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    September 6, 2016 P16/V2169/CM  Harwell Link Rd. - remove condition 8.
    No Objection - comments
    This is Vale being consulted by OCC on their application ref R3.0109/16. Harwell PC should respond direct to OCC and not to this "application".
    PC comment for OCC is to raise concern that cost saving will be minimal and PC would prefer lighting from the start.

    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.
    May 2016 amendments reviewed 24 May and objection report will be updated.

    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

    Site is now in Sutton Courtney PC. (Same as SODC P15/S1880/O) Comments : Harwell PC does not object to this application but asks that the following comments are given consideration; the road from the Link Road for heavy traffic is inappropriate because it leads to the housing estate. 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.

    17 April PC said "Harwell Parish Council objects to the proposal to run buses past the Cornerstone building." 14 July PC said "Harwell Parish Council objects to the proposal to run buses past the Cornerstone building. A suggested alternative would be around the rear of the phase 2 development, which is currently shown as a service road. The pedestrian access could be limited to each end of the road, preventing any danger from service vehicles." Application approved by SODC Planning Committee.

    June 23, 2015 P15/V1101/FUL  New build at The Old Pump Station & Kennels, The Winnaway.
    Objects
    The parish council OBJECTED to this application on the grounds that there would be an adverse impact on the character & appearance of this area within the North Wessex Downs AONB, and because of the overdominance of a 2 storey building on the apex of the hill. Planners were asked to note previous planning history at this site. The council queried the term “boarding kennels” in the description, as the kennels appear to be used only sporadically.

    Neighbours Response to note that this type of infill development is to be welcomed, but regrets the misleading use of “affordable” in the planning application description – unless of course the proposal is for these houses to be built by or for a housing association. Clerk to be asked to request clarification. Additional comment submitted June 29th 2015 - Further to earlier submitted comments, the Parish Council now understands that there is a covenant on the land, and requests that the terms of the covenant are carefully considered.

RESPONSE TO AMENDED APPLICATION April 2020 (PC meeting 22.4.2020) - No comments. RESPONSE TO AMENDED APPLICATION Feb 2020 - The council reiterates its former objections to the application. Whilst recognising that one of the cycle paths has been widened, the design is still unsafe as it allows parking parallel to the path. With regard to archaeological searches, the council welcomes the proposed arrangements and requests that they are carried out as proposed. Noting the comments of Harwell Parish History Group, the council asks that any finds are suitably catalogued and that the information is provided for the parish. If possible could the finds be displayed in the parish? RESPONSE TO AMENDED APPLICATION Oct 2019 - NB Original comments on this application still apply - please see previous responses. Council objects to this application - Council has concerns about lack of healthcare provision, especially as it now appears that a crisis is looming locally because of an already overloaded healthcare system. Regular appointments in Didcot surgeries are currently running at a 5 week waiting period and, with doubts over the deliverability of a sufficient capacity site on GWP, it would be prudent to assign land in Valley Park in the event it is needed for this purpose. The amended design and access (DAS) statement raises serious concerns. The original approved road layout included segregated cycle tracks along the main route through Valley Park and this was actually one of the better features of this development. These plans have been dropped in this proposal in favour of throwing cyclists onto the main road with no protection. The developers claim a 20mph limit is sufficient but without sufficient engineering or enforcement this limit will be routinely exceeded, particularly on the main road through the site. This is already demonstrated in GWP where, despite bends and chicanes, the 20mph limit is widely ignored. This approach also contravenes the OCC cycling design standards which is clear that on Spine or Primary distributor roads, a minimum of stepped tracks are to be provided if the road serves more than 500 homes. This applies regardless of the speed limit, including 20mph and is due to the traffic volume expected. From the OCC cycling design standards, 2017. "2.2.6 Along such roads, sometimes referred to as spine roads, the minimum provisions for cycle users are stepped cycle tracks (sometimes called hybrid cycle lanes, terraced or similar) on each side of the road. This applies to any new road serving a new development where it connects together two existing roads and serves a development of greater than 500 houses. This also applies to smaller sites where these will ultimately form a larger overall development meeting these criteria." Table 1. also makes clear that stepped tracks would be the minimum expected provision for this type of road. Design of cycle paths/lanes does not adhere to the Walking & Cycling Design Guide – the design of the cycle paths/lanes should revert to original designs to give maximum protection to cyclists. Cycle paths should also be cohesive with neighbouring developments. Another major concern are the illustrative road layouts. B1-C, B2, C-D and A-B2. These appear to show cycle lanes/tracks in the door zone of car parking and is completely unacceptable. Either relocate the cycle tracks to the other side of the verge, remove the parking or widen the cycle tracks to allow safe space to pass parked cars. Where bus stops cross the cycle path, bus stop bypasses should be used to prevent buses and cyclists crossing paths. C-D has cycle tracks widths below the minimum specified in the cycling standards, it is completely unacceptable that on a blank canvas development anything narrower than the recommended width be provided. There are no on carriageway cycle tracks in this masterplan that meet the recommended width of 1.8m. Council has serious concerns about the design of the roundabout at Harwell Link Road as shown in the amended DAS. The construction of this roundabout severed the relatively easy pedestrian/cyclist route to/from Didcot, a section that is a key part of the major cyclist commuting route serving the Village, Harwell Campus and local schools. It is also popular with mobility scooter users going to/from GWP and Didcot. While traffic levels are low, the informal crossings on this roundabout are manageable. At busier periods however it can be harder to cross, especially for those who require a bit more time. The alternative that has been provided, a bridleway and signalised crossing, is so inconvenient that is is rarely used. The new plans include a 5 arm roundabout design that again directly contravenes the cycling design standards (3.3.5) with tangential design on every arm. This roundabout is designed for speed and, with the higher volume of traffic expected from Valley Park, this will make informal crossings completely unsuitable, provision of zebra crossings on the slower speed arms (all arms except the link road) would improve this design.. The current design completely ignore the needs of non-motorised users. There are no safe and convenient cycle paths/bridle paths, no pedestrian crossings on the Link Road arm of the roundabout, and turning angles are too shallow to slow traffic enough to allow safe passage for cyclists and pedestrians. Response to amended application June 2020 - Objection - reiterate previous objections.

    It will have a detrimental effect on the already limited parking on the High Street and surrounding streets. The additional space is for new residents and although they will not drive, the build area reduces the onsite parking. However, the additional residents will mean more visitors/staff cars added to the already limited parking space.
