That the PC proceeds with the erection of the Recreation Ground Shelter at the site near the entrance to the Church Road Recreation Ground, with maximum sound-proofing and planting for the benefit of residents; the Shelter to be reviewed at 6 months and again at 12 months, local residents to be invited to the Reviews’.

The motion was Agreed by 8 votes in favour with none against and five abstentions

8.45pm The Chairman declared the meeting out of session and asked those present if they wished to speak

County Cllr Anne Purse – Brookes student parking.- she believed that there needed to be an overall plan for parking and that double yellow lines along Waterperry would push the parking into Wheatley and Holton. Also the City Council’s plans for Barton may cause greater hold-ups at the Green Road roundabout and that would cause more traffic cutting through Wheatley

PC Paul Gregory – if double yellow lines were put down on Waterperry Road where would the 80 or so cars that park there go?

He also reported that the owner of the land south of Muddy Lane where two caravans had recently been parked had been in contact with TVP and told them that he had given the occupants six week to vacate the land.

District Councillor Janet Carr said she wanted to pay tribute to the work Cllr Birks had put in to the Parish Council’s submission to the Examination in Public of SODC’s Core Strategy.

District Councillor Bell said that whilst the ‘Localism Act was now in place it was still unclear how it would affect the Council

9.02pm The Chairman declared the Council back in session

With the permission of the meeting item 10, (Proposal for double yellow lines along Waterperry Road)

was now taken)

89. TO DECIDE A RESPONSE TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL’S PROPOSAL FOR DOUBLE YELLOW LINES ALONG THE WATERPERRY ROAD.

The County Council is asking for an initial response before it formerly goes for a Traffic Order for double yellow lines between the Oxford Brookes Waterperry entrance and the M40 motorway bridge.

Parish Councillors were extremely concerned that should yellow lines be deployed along Waterperry Road the parking displaced (anything between 50 and 100 cars) would finish up on the streets of Wheatley which were already congested with parked cars and traffic.

Cllr Reilly proposed and Cllr Knapp seconded that ‘the Parish Council would object, in the strongest possible terms, to the installation of further double yellow lines along the Waterperry Road.’

This was Agreed unanimously. This resolution to be sent to Oxfordshire County Council Highways Department.

A date for the next meeting with Brookes had been received but they had been told that this was not suitable. Brookes had replied that it may not be possible to have a meeting before a planning application is submitted.

Following the letter being sent to residents of Bell Lane with the

suggestion that it be made a cul-de-sac,  a number of replies had been received. Most were in favour of some alteration in priorities but not necessarily the cul-de-sac one. This item to be put on the next F&GP Agenda and councillors to look at the responses received.

15 TO CONSIDER A RESIDENT’S COMPLAINT ABOUT THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC ON THE LONDON ROAD FOLLOWING RADIO OXFORD’S ANNOUNCEMENT ADVERTISING ASDA PETRO WAS ONE OF THE CHEAPEST IN OXFORD.

The committee appreciated the resident’s concern but felt the matter was not within the Parish Council’s control

16 TO CONSIDER A COMPLAINT FROM PARENTS VIA THE PRIMARY SCHOOL ABOUT THE RESIDENTS PARING THEIR CARS BELOW THE ZEBRA CROSSING ON LITTLE WORTH ROAD

The committee felt that as parking along that stretch of road was not illegal there was no need to act. The danger of prohibiting parking along such roads does tend to increase traffic speed.

Mrs Godfrey, 31 park Hill, was allowed to speak to her objection that had been submitted to SODC

Note: SODC were unable to grant the Parish Council an extension of  time to respond to this application so in accordance with Standing Order 47.1(c), in consultation with the Chair of the Planning Committee, and in light of the objections raised by residents the Clerk responded to SODC and Recommended Refusal

The clerk outlined the reasons given for the recommendation:

  • The modern design is out of keeping with and unsympathetic with the surrounding properties and whilst being outside the Wheatley Conservation Area, the site, being up the hill means that it will be visible from the CA
  • The development is overbearing to 31 Park Hill plus the plans seem to indicate that the development at Plot 2 goes right on the boundary with No 31
  • There is also concern over the access to the site especially emergency vehicles and construction vehicles.

The Committee endorsed the action of the Clerk and Chairman

Mr Woolf, 66 London Rd., was invited to speak. He said that he was very much in favour of the development of the site because at the moment it was such an eye sore. He outlined what he saw as the pros and cons of the suggested development as he saw it.

Recommend Refusal – whilst being very much in favour of the redevelopment of the site it was felt that size and bulk of the 3 storey building was inappropriate for the surrounding area.

Since sexual arousal is dependent on the testosterone level, the medicine is less efficient for people with insufficient amount of male sex hormone. The medication at https://www.sandwichmedical.com/links-and-resources/viagra-online has little effect on patients with specific disorders (such as diseases of the endothelium). If endothelium releases insufficient amount of substance that serves as an erection mediator, Viagra won’t provide an adequate effect as well. The same is true for patients suffering from metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
