PC Meeting Date	Application
June 17, 2021	P20/V1536/RM  Reserved matters application re: layout, access, landscaping etc at land east of Meadow View, Didcot Road Amended plans November 2020. Amended plans Feb 2021, March 2021, June 2021 No Objection - comments Response 20.8.2020 - No objections but not clear why this application is related to the original Meadow View application for 63 houses which has been superseded by the new application for 76 houses. Planners to be asked to clarify. No comments on amendments Nov 2020, Feb 2021 Planning Cttee response March 2021 - Committee wished to reiterate previous objections. Supports the Highways Officer’s comments on the path – should be on both sides of the access road going onto the B4493, in the interests of pedestrian amenity. Planning Cttee response June 2021 - Committee welcomed the shared path extensions to development at Long Reach and Valley Park and the retention of the path along both sides of the access road but would prefer that the pavement near the junction with Didcot Road is not narrowed below 2m wide.
June 17, 2021	P21/V0679/O  Outline application - 5 dwellings at 25 Orchard Way Amendment May 2021 - bat survey & statement from site owner Amendment June 2021 - archaeological assessment No Objection - comments June 2021 amendment - No comment on amendment but original objections still stand as they have not yet been addressed May 2021 amendment: No objections to amendments but previous objections have not been addressed at this point and still apply. Objection 23.4.21; out of character with surrounding area 2-storey design should be bungalow or dormer bungalow in keeping with other homes in immediate vicinity in Orchard Way on the edge of the built-up residential area concerns about parking and extra traffic using Orchard Way which is already congested with on-road parking by residents, visitors and school parking PC approves the design of the dark window frames and tiles If approved by planners, sustainable materials to be used where possible
June 17, 2021	P21/V1243/FUL  Temporary containers and outdoor seating at Curie Avenue/Second Street, Harwell Campus No Objection - comments Committee asked for more information regarding sustainability of food containers and handling of waste, and provision of toilet facilities.
June 17, 2021	P21/V1333/HH  Garage conversion, change front door position, extend dropped kerb, new parking at 8 Westfield No Objection - comments Neighbours' comments, use sustainable materials
June 17, 2021	P21/V1422/DIS  Discharge application - drainage, visibility splays No response required
June 17, 2021	P21/V1655/HH  Single storey rear extension at 40 Candytuft Way No Objection - comments Council has no objections but asks that neighbours' comments are taken into consideration and sustainable materials are used in construction
June 17, 2021	P21/V1623/DIS  Discharge application - EV charging points at land south of Rutherford Avenue No response required
June 8, 2021	P20/V1667/O  Redevelopment of Fermi Gate to provide workspace parking and landscaping at Harwell Campus Amendment Nov 2020 - flood risk, building heights etc Amendment May 2021 - transport strategy 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. 8.6.2021 amendment - Objection; Concerns about traffic across the local area, including the A4185, Rowstock and Hagbourne Hill. The traffic model shows that junctions are already at capacity in peak periods, and this takes no account of other large developments proposed for the area, eg the application P21/V1711/FUL at the former Esso premises in Milton. The development cannot be environmentally sustainable with so many cars encouraged to park on site (1750 spaces)and no real alternative for other modes of transport. The multi-storey car park should be site-managed rather than individual company-managed and parking charges should be considered to encourage use of other transport methods. No improvements are proposed for cycle/pedestrian routes in spite of previous requests. The cycle lane should continue into the site and there should be safe crossing points for pedestrians. The lack of a Campus Masterplan is still of concern. Should this development be permitted, the 20 mph speed limit should be enforced, with traffic calming measures put in place to slow drivers, the number of peak time buses should be increased, and any construction traffic should use the A34 access at Chilton and not travel through Rowstock.
June 8, 2021	P21/V1162/DIS  Discharge application (lighting) at Building 150, Thompson Avenue No response required
June 8, 2021	P21/V1183/DIS  Discharge application - drainage, hedges, slab levels at Petherton, Reading Road No response required
June 8, 2021	P21/V1171/FUL  Commercial buildings and associated works at former Esso Research Centre, Abingdon Road, Milton Objects Harwell Parish Council objects to this application on the following grounds - • The site is not classed as a Strategic Employment Site in the Local Plan Part 1. The council supports the comments from East Hendred Parish Council regarding Local Plan Policy CP28. • The location is not sustainable in transport terms. • The site lacks quality pedestrian and cyclist links, to any of the nearby villages. Current footpaths are sub-standard in width, there are no crossings and the footpaths are not continuous on either side of the A4130. There is no safe direct pedestrian access to Harwell village other than via a lengthy detour via Rowstock or Milton Interchange. There is no cycling infrastructure connecting to the site. • Concerns regarding light pollution which will have a detrimental effect on the area and needs to be mitigated. This site has an elevated position/rural position which exacerbates the impact. • Previous approved applications limited height of buildings to 12m. These buildings are taller, up to 17m. The previous restrictions should stay. • Concerns that traffic accessing site will increase flows through Harwell village and Grove Road. Concerns over traffic increase through Rowstock, particularly of large articulated lorries (diversions from A34 closures already lead to an increase in large lorries using the A4130 through Rowstock, leading to complaints from residents about speed, noise, pollution, possible damage to property and lack of sleep). The council shares the concerns of residents. Traffic calming measures should be considered for Rowstock as part of the application. • Highways England says HGVs should not be diverted from the A34 along the A4130. This should be a consideration when assessing the application – if a highways agency says a road is unsuitable for large lorries it should not be suitable for a distribution centre. • The application/development plans need to be considered in conjunction with improvements to A4130 - https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/roads-and-transport/roadworks/future-transport-projects/featherbed-lane-and-steventon and alongside other proposed development in the area, eg major applications at Harwell Campus. Development should not proceed until these works are completed. Lots of development in this area and there needs to be joined up thinking across the different projects. • Traffic modelling: • Serious concerns over junction capacity as there are a significant number of on road cyclists using this area in peak hours due to inadequate alternative provision and modelling does not capture the capacity-reducing effect of this. Queries also on quality of the modelling performed as there appear to be very inconsistent results compared to other applications. An example : Claim that Fermi Gate traffic has been included in modelling, yet Fermi Gate application (P20/V1667/O TIS table 2.10) has A4185(W) at RFC of 1.007 PM peak in 2025. This application claims A4185(W) RFC PM peak of 0.57 in 2031 (Transport Assessment table 7.9). • Proposed development is too urban for a rural site with 80% hardstanding. Should the development be permitted, traffic calming measures will be required, safe crossings and pavements should be included for pedestrians, cycle lanes should be provided and speed limits should be lowered so that the A4130 between Milton Interchange and the site is a 30 mph zone.. All traffic to and from the site should be routed via Milton Interchange and not through Rowstock. The frequency of buses at peak times should be improved to the site to encourage usage over cars.
May 27, 2021	P21/V1027/HH  2-storey front & rear extensions at 15 The Cleave No Objection - comments No objection, neighbours' comments Sustainable materials to be used where possible
May 21, 2021	P14/V2873/O Major Valley Park amended March 2016, August 2016, January 2020, March 2020, May 2020, Dec 2020, May 2021 Objects See Developments page Original application discussed at meeting 2015-03-10, Amendments first discussed at meeting 2015-10-06. Response (objection) agreed at committee meeting 2015-10-27. Draft of further response discussed at committee meeting 2016-03-29. Subject to corrections approved for submission by due date of 6 April. Objection. 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. Response to amended application January 2021 - The council objects to the application, supports the comments from HarBUG & Harwell Campus employees and asks that the following comments are taken into consideration by planners: 1. Latest proposal for roundabout on Didcot Road: As Harbug says in its recent submission: The incorrect design standard has been used for the design. The roundabout has been designed to conform to the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB). DMRB is the Highways England standard for the design of motorways and trunk roads. None of the roads connecting to the roundabout are trunk roads and the design of the roundabout should reflect that other modes of travel will be using the junction, not just motorised vehicles. The document CD 116 from Highways England covers the “Geometric design of roundabouts”. It says in section 2.3 that where the speed limit is less than 40mph the compact design should be used, unless the traffic volume is greater than 12,000 AADT – Annual average daily traffic. The choice of the ‘normal’ design isn’t justified in the proposal by reference to likely traffic figures. But CD 116 goes on to say that the Compact design: “can be more suitable where there is a need to accommodate at-grade crossings for pedestrians or cyclists” and “Non-flared entries / exits of a compact roundabout give more flexibility for the inclusion of pedestrian crossings …” The document gives these layouts: A previous plan for the proposed roundabout, which is very similar as regards the roads to the current proposal, supposedly tabulated the entry radius for vehicles entering the junction: The latest plan is this, to which has been added curves of varying radii: It is quite clear that the radii at best apply to vehicles taking the next exit from where they entered. In the case of the Northern Site road, the radius for taking the Didcot exit is more than 50 metres, and the entry radius from the north is for such a short distance as to be meaningless. This is obvious from the way there is a ‘flat’ section of kerb, as indicated. For all the marking of 2 lanes, they have very little impact on driver speeds as it is not practical to be alongside another vehicle on the roundabout. The flared entries and exits should be redesigned so that there are no two-lane sections on the same carriageway, and the centre lines should be removed from the road surface of the roundabout to discourage excessive speed and to assist pedestrians who in the present design will be discouraged from walking between Harwell & Didcot. Extra formal crossing points should be available on each arm of the roundabout, in addition to the crossings already shown. The dog-leg section shown in the plan above should be redesigned on the western approach of the bridleway. 2. Footpaths & bridleways Footpaths should have a 3 metre width along their full length. There should be a dedicated footpath along the B4493 (or safe alternative route) to ensure safe pedestrian access to schools. This could include an east-west link north of Zulu Farm. Cow Lane should remain as a bridleway but should be resurfaced suitably (at present it is broken stone, not suitable for horses). The surface of The Driftway also needs to be improved. Plans (Document D Planning in Access documents) do not show the steep bank at the proposed Pegasus crossing on the eastern side of Harwell Link Road near The Driftway. There should be a formal crossing where the bridleway meets the new access road. The bridleway access on the Harwell side of the roundabout needs to be defined. 3. Link Road junction with access road Are there plans to make the exit onto the Link Road left turn only? Have existing problems at Hagbourne Hill been taken into consideration? This section is already busy and traffic backs up frequently. 4. Design & Access Statement Plans of proposed car and bus parking bays show car parking bays as too narrow for cyclists to pass safely – the bays are not wide enough to allow a car door to open within the bay. 5. Allotments Adequate screening/noise alleviation for the main allotments site on the grounds of noise from the A34 should be provided. The symbol on the plan says the site is ‘poor semi-improved neutral grassland’ which is not accurate. It is a spoil heap from the A34 construction. The site should be assessed for suitability for allotments and levelled or the bank flattened out. Some plans of this triangle show the original OS contours, some show none, and some show the 1-metre survey: Below is a cross-section A-B, note different scales for vertical and horizontal There is no road access for vehicles so this should be addressed. The allotments site should be finished before all housing is occupied. 6. General comments Roads in the development should be redesigned where necessary to allow use of speed monitoring devices & mitigation should be in place to reduce traffic speeds. The proposed retail, health, dental and other amenities appear insufficient for such a large development. Existing facilities in Didcot are already overstretched, with facilities within Great Western Park not preventing traffic from that development to travel into Didcot for shops and healthcare. Buildings should be constructed beyond current minimum legislation on sustainability, eg solar panelling, charging points for electric vehicles, alternatives to gas boilers and use of sustainable building materials should be standard (or provision for easy installation of such items), rather than adhering to current guidelines on insulation etc, to abide by the Climate Emergency. The council welcomes the green strips due to be preserved by the water course (as identified on page 31 of the Design & Access Statement). RESPONSE - AMENDED PLANS May 2021; Council objects to the new layout - see response below. Harwell Parish Council response to planning application P14/V2873/O Valley Park, amendment May 2021 Application P14/V2873/O was deferred for 2 main reasons at the last VWHDC planning committee, to allow comment from the NHS CCG regarding healthcare provision, and to allow further consideration of the B4493 southern roundabout and improvement of the proposed non-motorised user (NMU) provision. The parish council still has two major concerns regarding NMU provision around the southern roundabout. We welcome the provision of formal crossings close to each arm of the roundabout and this mainly addresses our previous concerns regarding pedestrian amenity. Cyclist provision and roundabout scale • Severe disruption in commuter cyclist amenity due to the multiple stop/start actions required to navigate the roundabout. • The discouraging effect of such a large and busy roundabout on children cycling to/from schools in Didcot and GWP. • Consider adding pedestrian/cycle/equestrian links at the A417 end of the Link Road Equestrian route from Harwell to the Driftway • Route for horse riders to and from Harwell village (see further comments below) • Has the British Horse Society been consulted on the proposals? The applicant has provided a technical report from Brookbanks that addresses some of our previous concerns, but that also sadly does not mention the strategic nature of the EW route as part of the Science Vale Cycling Network and an important link between Didcot Garden Town and Harwell Village, and on to Harwell Campus and Wantage. The applicant also hosted a conference call with local stakeholders & councillors to present the changes and allow discussion. This was very useful, and we welcome this approach by the applicant. We would appreciate this approach to continue through the reserved matters stage of the planning process. The applicant has improved the design of the roundabout in two important aspects: The applicant has proposed a ‘green wave’ technological solution to the commuting cyclist amenity issue. This would detect approaching cyclists, either via speed or a tag, and prepare a crossing trigger on approach to allow continuous flow. OCC confirmed they were supportive of this approach, although this would be a pilot scheme for the technology and that does carry a risk to provision. Were this scheme to work it would address the concerns adequately regarding commuting cyclist delay. Requirement for this should be a condition of planning, both for installation and ongoing maintainance. Our remaining concern regarding cyclist provision is that of the discouraging effect of the scale of the roundabout on schoolchildren (and their parents) and less confident cyclists who currently cycle to schools and facilities in GWP and Didcot. Removing traffic from the school run is an important aspect of reducing congestion and meeting emission targets and planning policy is clear that active travel should be greatly promoted. We consider that this remaining concern can be adequately addressed by provision of a high quality, sealed-surface alternative route via Cow Lane, across the applicant’s site and along the GWP perimeter track. This would lead almost directly to the Wantage Rd stepped cycle lane being constructed at the moment and provide a continuous, safer, although longer, route into the centre of Didcot and the schools along the way. We would ask that the following be made a condition of planning, to be provided as soon as possible to construction start: S278 agreement for funds to cover resurfacing and drainage improvement of Cow Lane, from the junction with Townsend in Harwell to tie into the applicant’s site (as shown in pink on the attached map). Provision across the applicant’s site of a sealed surface route that meets the OCC and LTN1/20 recommended standards for width (rather than the minimum) that connects Cow Lane to the GWP edge of the development (as shown in green on the attached map). As direct a route as possible is preferred (indicated with ? on the map). S278 agreement for funds to cover a short connection to the GWP perimeter track and upgrading of the perimeter track (or parallel provision along this route) to a sealed surface suitable for 4-season use. This should run to the tarmac surface outside the UTC (as shown in pink on the attached map). Reasons: A 4-season cycle route requires a sealed, smooth surface to encourage active travel. Suitable choices would be tarmac, a resin bound substrate or a surface like Flexipave that has been used on the Kelaart Field track on the other side of the A4130. The current surface of Cow Lane is badly potholed from farm traffic that will largely cease with this development. In addition, there are drainage issues towards the northern end by the A34 bridge. The GWP perimeter track surface is poor when wet, prone to water pooling and soft underfoot. The current surface would not be suitable for use over wetter periods. Although this route is significantly longer and would not be used by confident commuter cyclists for this reason, it does remove both the southern access roundabout and also the Blenheim Hill section of the Harwell to Didcot route. This is a busy narrow section with steep gradients and is generally unpleasant to cycle on at peak periods. The provision of formal crossings on all arms of the roundabout allows safe access from Harwell Village to the Driftway via the southern edge for equestrian users. These crossings also allow pedestrians to navigate the roundabout directly, rather than being sent up and around. They are close to the roundabout for minimal detour. We have concerns over pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians being crammed onto the shared pavement. The proposed equestrian route could be improved around the southern arm of the roundabout by including a new bridleway section on land just to the south west of the roundabout. This would run directly from crossing to crossing and cut the corner. This section is relatively flat – there is no embankment as stated in the accompanying documents (eg the original and revised layouts). A photo of the section is shown below. A suitable surface for equestrian use should be provided.
May 21, 2021	P21/V0875/FUL  New Class E workshop and access at Land south of Fermi Avenue, north of Building R89, Road 8 No Objection - comments No objections but council asks for a planning condition that the cycle path to the east of the junction is continued to the west utilising the wide gravel verge adjacent to the pavement north of the car park for cycling and pedestrians, and that cycle parking is provided near the entrance to the new parking area. In the absence of a Campus Masterplan, the council requests that all construction traffic is directed away from Rowstock. Parking should be provided for electric vehicles. Sustainable materials to be used where possible
May 21, 2021	P21/V0732/FUL  Demolish existing dwelling, erect 2 x detached dwellings at Cherrydene, Reading Road No Objection - comments The council has concerns that there is no plan showing both houses together on the plot from the front elevation (ie as seen from Reading Road), and that the scale of the proposed new buildings is a significant increase over the existing bungalow, and also asks that neighbours’ comments and concerns should be given full consideration, particularly those relating to the impact of the new houses on properties in the lower-lying Tyrells Close to the rear of the site. If the application is permitted by planners, sustainable building methods and materials should be used where possible.

March 18, 2021	P20/V1334/FUL  Full application for 76 dwellings at land east of Meadow View Didcot Road Amendment 1 & 2 August 2020 - noise assessment & archaeology methodology Amendment 3 November 2020 - noise impact, trench evaluation Amended plans Dec 2020 - various Additional info March 2021 - tree survey, swept paths, affordable homes Objects 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). PC Amendments Nov 2020 - no comments PC comments on amendments Dec 2020 - no objections to amendments but reiterates previous comments PLanning Committee response to amended application March 2021 - Committee wished to reiterate previous objections. Supports the Highways Officer’s comments on the path – should be on both sides of the access road going onto the B4493, in the interests of pedestrian amenity.

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.

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.

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.

February 11, 2020	P19/V2660/FUL  80 homes (social) at Greenwood Way, GWP - AMENDMENT Feb 2020 No Objection - comments 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.

August 20, 2019	P19/V0403/FUL  85 bed care home with parking etc at Alma Barn, Didcot Road AMENDMENT August 2019 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.

July 9, 2019	P18/V3031/FUL  2 buildings with parking etc at land south of Thomson Avenue Amended plans 15 April 2019, 1 July 2019 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

May 14, 2019	P17/V2777/O Major 63 new homes on land south east of Meadow View, Didcot Road Amended plans received 19 April 2019 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)

November 27, 2018	P18/V2196/FUL  2 new research buildings, car parks etc at land north of Fermi Ave AMENDED plans & information received October 2018, November 2018 No Objection - comments 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.

AMENDMENT received April 2018.

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.

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? 25 April no comment on latest amendment
