Submission on conversion of building on Barns Rd to 20 flats – needs to be car free development:
To: Planning at Oxford City Council
From: Steve Dawe, Cowley Area Transport Group – www.catg.org.uk
53 Bulan Road Oxford OX3 7HU – 7th September 2021
| 21/01539/DDW56 DEL – 244 Barns Road
Prior approval for demolition of existing three storey office building (Use Class E) and erection of four storey building to provide 20no. flats (Use Class C3) and provision of bin stores. This application is assessed solely in respect of transport and highway impacts; contamination risks; flooding risks; design; external appearance; provision of adequate natural light; amenity; impacts of noise from commercial premises; impact on business and new residents of increase in residential use in the area; impact on heritage and archaeology; the method of demolition; landscaping; and air traffic and defence asset impacts.
We note that Barns Road is now a CPZ and remains a busy road with congestion in some parts at peak times. We have no objection to this as a change of use. We do, however, want the City Council to ensure that no parking spaces other than for disability/delivery are provided at this location. This is line with the City Council’s Oxford Local Plan 2040 documentation in which new developments are supposed to be so constrained rather than have parking provision. We reiterate previous comments that car parking provision contributes to car movements, and that reductions in both car parking and in road space (for better pavements, cycle tracks and bus lanes) are part of long-term responses to increased traffic journeys noted in the Oxford LCWIP documentation. Alongside restricting parking provision for vehicles please could you ensure that ample cycle parking is provided in this development. ************************************************************** |

Oxfordshire 2050 is the County Council’s long term vision for the future. Cowley Area Transport Group believe that It does not take the climate emergency into consideration and doesn’t do enough to reduce emissions.
