Agenda item

To receive notification from West Oxfordshire District Council on the Salt Cross Garden Village Area Action Plan (AAP) Examination.

The Committee received notification from West Oxfordshire District Council on the Salt Cross Garden Village Area Action Plan (AAP) Examination.

Members noted that the deadline for addressing the Inspector had passed but there was still an opportunity to make a written submission. It was clarified that nay input had to reflect anything that had been previously submitted.

The Committee considered that transport issues such as improvements to the A40, protection of a rail corridor and improvements at Hanborough Station were important. In addition the changes in political control at Oxfordshire County Council needed to be borne in mind and as the new Transport Portfolio Holder was a Witney Councillor then contact should be made with them.

After further discussion it was agreed that the Chair and Vice Chair, in consultation with Officers, be delegated to consider what further written representations, if any, should be submitted to the inquiry by the deadline.

Resolved:

That, delegation be given to the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Committee, in consultation with officers, to consider if the Town Council wishes to make any further written submissions to the Salt Cross Garden Village Area Action Plan (AAP) Examination.
