A snippet from appendix 10.1 of the ES Addendum (Doric’s amendments), a letter to the Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance (owners of St Peter and St Paul church and vicarage);

“The development proposals for Botley District Centre have also been revised to enable a greater provision of age-restricted residential accommodation to be brought forward at the western end of the site. There are now 50 apartments – a mix of 1 and 2 Bedrooms – which now exceeds the total net floor area compared to the present accommodation it will replace whilst still enjoying related communal garden amenity space for the residents.

“A consequence of this amendment is that it is no longer feasible to re-provide the Vicarage within the application site.”
