OUTLINE - PROPOSED NEW SETTLEMENT FOR 1075 DWELLINGS, TOGETHER WITH WORKS, SCHOOL, FIELDS

 

Network Rail Town Planning has no objection to the above proposal but would like the following issued as a condition to the applicant.

 

The proposed development is for 1000+ dwellings which Network Rail believes justifies a mini-bus service being run between the development and the Bicester North Railway Station.

 

PPG13 states that – “the local transport plan strategy, a key aim of which should be to encourage greater use of public transport, walking and

cycling (both on their own and in combination with the use of cars, motorcycles, taxis etc) for journeys in rural areas both by visitors and local people. In addition, local service providers, need to work together to achieve the maximum benefit in terms of service delivery. This may mean the flexible and shared use of existing transport and delivery services.” Network Rail believes that the developer should look into funding a mini-bus service to Bicester North Station, which would result in less car journeys, and ensure greater use of the local railway station resulting in fewer car trips to the areas served by Bicester North Station services and to ensure that the development is compatible with the Local Development Framework.
