The agenda for the next Full Council meeting has been made available.  Seven sites have not been included within the Proposed Submission for development. Here is the section on Headington Car Park.

* Headington Car Park – the potential loss of car parking and the effect on trade at shops in Headington was of considerable concern to the local community with a petition received of nearly 3,500 signatories against any development on this site. The site is surrounded by the Old Headington Conservation Area and for development to be viable it would most likely need to be built over a number of storeys which could adversely affect the conservation area. At this stage it is difficult to know whether this is deliverable and achievable and if it could retain sufficient car parking. For these reasons it should not be allocated.

It is still technically possible for this decision to be reversed at Full Council on 19 December, but this is fairly unlikely. We shall report back to Headington ward residents with the final decision on Tuesday 20 December at our Headington Ward Focus meeting, Headington Baptist  Church, Old High Street, 6.00 – 8.00pm.

Congratulations to all our residents and businesses for voicing our opposition so effectively!
