At a little after 2pm today, the Vale received Doric’s planning application.
This will be checked on Monday and put up to the web as soon after as is possible. I’ll put out a message when it’s available to see online. A paper copy of the application’s attachments and plans will take longer to arrive in Botley, but I’ll let you know about that too.
Consultation begins on the 6th of Jan.
For info, the applicants previously filed this notice, which mentions a hotel and gymnasium (for the first time, as far as I know) but doesn’t mention a community hall: http://www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/archive/2013/12/20/10890840.Botley_District_Centre/
Hi Brian, and thanks for leaving a comment.
Traffic increase and its effect on air quailty is a key point in any objection.
The gynmasium aspect caught me by surprise. I’m wondering how Brookes Univeristy will see it? Certainly it would be competition for their sports centre.
Pollution is going to be a major problem as a result of these proposals and Botley already has enough of that. Will we be going back to the pollution sensors we have had previously? There is an excellent gymnasium at Oxford Brookes on Harcourt Hill. It is easily accessible even by ‘bus and open to all. Do we need another one?
