5. Planning Applications delegated to the Town Clerk To consider the planning applications delegated to the Town Clerk, in consultation with Ward Members and the Chairman of the Planning Committee, as set out in Enclosure 5.

6. Decision Notices To consider Decision Notices where the decision of the Planning Authority is contrary to the observations of the Town Council, as set out in Enclosure 6.

7. Appeals None

8. Decision Regarding Designation of Bodicote Neighbourhood Area Members are advised that the area originally proposed by Bodicote Parish Council for the Neighbourhood Plan covered the whole of the existing Bodicote Parish Council area (Map 1 Enclosure 8a). Cherwell District Council considered the comments received and at a meeting on 4 January determined that an alternative area should be designated (Map 2 Enclosure 8b). The reasons for this are set out in the 'Decision Document' which is available on the Council's website at http://www.cherwell.qov.uk/neighbourhoodplanning/index.cfm?articleid=11049. In summary this decision was made because from April 2016 land currently within Bodicote Parish will be within Banbury Town Council's administrative area following a review of the Parish Boundaries in 2013, and it was considered that the Neighbourhood Plan area should follow these revised boundaries.

9. Notice of Temporary Traffic Order Banbury, Middleton Road - Prohibition of Vehicles Date of Order: 8 February 2016 Coming into force: 15 February 2016 This Order is being introduced because of sewer repairs which are anticipated to take 3 weeks to complete. The effect of the Order is to temporarily prohibit any vehicle proceeding in the length of Middleton Road from its junction with McKeevor Place to its junction with Duke Street. Appropriate traffic signs will be displayed to indicate when the measures are in force. Exemptions are included for emergency services and for the works and for access to premises which are only accessible from the closed section of road. The alternative route is via Middleton Road, Ermont Way, Hennef Way, Concorde Avenue, Bridge Street and vice versa. This Order will remain in force for a maximum period of 18 months or until the works have been completed whichever is the sooner.

10. Cherwell District Council Planning Policy Consultations: 29 January to 11 March 2016 a) Partial Review of the Cherwell Local Plan (Part 1): Oxford's unmet housing need-

Issues Paper b) Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 (Part 2): Development Management Policies and Sites-

interests as necessary as soon as practicable after their arrival even if the item in question has been considered;

Objection. Committee supported Historic England’s recommendation that,

‘this application is refused on the grounds that the proposals would harm the significance of this grade II* listed building through harm to its setting.

We do not consider that this harm is justified. While the Council is best

placed to weigh harm against public benefits we remind them of the duty to

have special regard and give great weight to conserving the building’s setting. In our view the public benefits associated with this application are

very limited and are unlikely to outweigh the harm.’ 15/00513/F Amended Mr R Wallace 38 High Street

T1 x Cherry - Fell T2, T3 x Hazel - Fell T4 x Buddleia - Fell G5 x Apple x 2 nos - Repollard to up to 10 ft G6 x Conifer x 4 nos - Fell

OBJECT – the felling of these trees will result in a detrimental impact on the conservation area and will change the character of the locality. BTC is concerned that there has been no reason submitted with the planning application explaining why the trees are to be felled. Since 2006 when the building had a two storey rear extension, there has been a significant amount of tree works at this property. If this application is permitted, 15 trees will have been felled from this property since 2009.

Granted 07/12/2015. Cherwell District Council, as Local Planning Authority has No Further Comments or Objections to the stated proposals described in the above-mentioned Section 211 "Notice of Intent". Please be advised that you may therefore undertake the stated works within the timescale noted below. (2 years from date of notice)

15/02056/F Mr Norman White The Old Bank 33 Horse Fair

Construction of 2 No one bedroom flats within car parking area at first floor level maintaining existing car parking bays beneath

OBJECT- This proposal is considered to be overdevelopment of the site. The proposal will fail to enhance the setting of the neighbouring listed building. The application form states that there will be an additional parking space provided (making 8) but on the proposed plans there are only 7. Access to the waste bin area will be impossible if there is a car parked in space No.1. No sizes of the flats have been offered and no scale bar is contained on the drawings - so it is not possible to deternmine the overall size of the flats. It is, howeveer, felt that the size of the apartments and the lack of windows will offer a poor standard of amenity to the future occupants.

Granted: 06/01/16 Subject to 6 x conditions. PLANNING NOTES The proposed building is situated immediately adjacent to a curtilage listed wall within the courtyard. This planning permission does not grant consent for any works to this listed structure and the proposed development must not touch the wall or involve any works to the wall. Any works to the listed wall will require listed building consent which is unlikely to be supported by the Local Planning Authority. Any unauthorised works to a listed building/structure are capable of being a criminal offence.
