Dear Ms Griffiths

RESERVE MATTERS FOR OUTLINE 06/00967/OUT - ACCESS ROAD TO SERVE THE COMMERCIAL ZONE WITHIN THE SW BICESTER DEVELOPMENT SITE.   LAND AT WHITELANDS FARM, SOUTH WEST OF BICESTER ADJOINING OXFORD ROAD.      

Thank you for your consultation, which we received on 16 August 2011.

Environment Agency position
We have no objections to this reserved matters planning application.
 
Although this road is not identified as a ‘Secondary Street’ in the Kingsmere Design Code (pages 52-53), we accept that the likely HGV traffic volume justifies the use of asphalt instead of permeable block paving.
 
We are happy to agree the details of the surface water drainage system for this parcel through Condition 12 of the outline planning permission.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Cathy Harrison
Planning Liaison Officer
