Report by the Interim Director for Community Operations (CMDE8).

A decision is sought on the proposed exclusion of eligibility for parking permits for residents of 77A-81A London Road Oxford in accordance with a planning condition set by Oxford City Council for the redevelopment of these properties

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed exclusion of eligibility for 77a to 81a London Road Oxford for residents and visitor permits as advertised.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered a report (CMDE8) which is sought to confirm the proposed exclusion of eligibility for parking permits for residents of 77A-81A London Road Oxford in accordance with a planning condition set by Oxford City Council for the redevelopment of these properties.

Rakesh Joshi (LCP Developments) spoke on behalf of, London and Cambridge Properties Limited (LCP), which owned numbers 77a-81a London Road, Headington.  LCP had obtained permission to convert the first floor from offices to two flats in May 2019 subject to conditions.  All of the relevant conditions had been discharged apart from Condition 4, which required an order governing parking at the properties to be varied by the County Council.  Until this had been confirmed the properties could not be occupied. LCP had no objection to that condition and had applied for the necessary order.  Furthermore, the flats had been converted and sold to overseas purchasers, subject to this condition being satisfied. The officer report set out the relevant background to this issue and he noted that that there had been no objections from Thames Valley Police or any other emergency service.  Furthermore, the order was consistent with adopted policies of both Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council. There had been one objection from a local resident but he considered that that appeared to be ill-conceived and as concluded in the officer report, confirmation of the order would have no adverse impact on any adjoining neighbour. In view of the above he asked that the officer recommendation b approved.

Having regard to the information set out in the report before her along with the representation made to her at the meeting the Cabinet Member confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve the proposed exclusion of eligibility for 77a to 81a London Road Oxford for residents and visitor permits as advertised.
