Dear Sir/Madam
PLANNING PROPOSAL – CONSULTATION WITH CHERWELL DISTRICT COUNCIL
Application No.:	18/00154/OCC	
Applicant’s Name:	Oxfordshire County Council	
Proposal:	Planning application by Oxfordshire County Council for planning permission for the new secondary school (Alchester Academy) with associated hard and soft landscaping, car parking, playing fields and infrastructure on land in the Kingsmere Development in South West Bicester
	
Location:	Proposed Secondary School Site SW Bicester Oxford Road Bicester   	
Parish(es):	Bicester		 	

I write to advise you that the above proposal was considered under delegated powers and it was resolved that this Council raise no objections to the proposal subject to the following observations that should be taken into account:	

o	The position of the proposed bin store appears to be unnecessarily close to the nearby dwellings.
o	The entrances along the green lane could encourage pupils to use the unadopted private driveways of local residents if care is not taken to make provision for suitable approaches for both cyclists and pedestrians.

If you have any queries, you are advised to contact the Case Officer; John Gale, on 01295 221857.

Yours faithfully 

Paul Feehily
Interim Director for Planning and Regeneration
