Redevelopment of Bartlemas Nursery Site including the removal of the existing nursery buildings and their replacement with a two and a half storey building to provide graduate students accommodation and warden’s flat. The proposal includes 21 student rooms with communal kitchen/diner and 9 self-contained 1 or 2 bed units. Provision of 2 disabled parking bays, bicycle and bin storage and communal amenity space. (Amended description) (Amended plans)(Additional information)

We have been advised by the architects that the 35 revised plans published on 17 July 2019 were produced because the architects, 5th Studio, received comments from Oxford City Council Planning Authority which resulted in incremental minor revisions. To avoid confusion, it was agreed that a final set of drawings would be re-issued to reflect all the changes and aid the application process. The Design and Access Statement text remains unchanged.

We conclude that all the objections set out in our letter of 16 February 2019 remain valid.
