Here is a press release which was sent to us by Vital Energi this evening
“We have received correspondence from the Local Planning Authority of Oxford City Council regarding the energy link which we are currently investigating further. Works associated with the energy link underground utility services and the formation of the service trench have been suspended whilst discussions with the Local Planning Authority continue. We will continue to work closely with Oxford University Hospitals Trust, the Local Planning Authority, Residents and Stakeholders to minimise disruption. Further updates will be provided in due course.”
Ashley Malin, Project Development Director, Vital Energi
We are presently trying to find out whether parking suspension notices in Stapleton Rd can now be withdrawn, whether the fencing in All Saints Road can come down, and whether the road closures will remain. We shall update this site as soon as we know more.
The Head of Planning and Regulatory Services has sent a letter today to contractors Vital Energi stating that planning permission is required for the works to install the energy transfer equipment and apparatus on behalf of the Trust.
We asked the City Council to investigate whether this s50 work needed to go through the planning process when details of the project were released.
Our view has always been that the planning process would ensure that residents’ comments were fully taken into account, details of what was proposed would be made clear, and appropriate conditions would be set.

We are waiting to hear the response from Vital Energi and will update the website when we know more. It appears that an environmental impact assessment may also be needed – that is something else that our residents have asked us to find out more about.
I think it’s the first time we’ve seen an ice cream parlour mentioned in our new applications list!
