Deferred

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE9) a report setting out objections received to a formal consultation on a proposal to introduce a raised zebra crossing to replace an existing ‘standard’ zebra on Oxford Hill, Witney. The proposal related to the planning consent for residential redevelopment of the former dairy site and the associated highway alterations.

Addressing concerns from an objector who felt that his original objection had not been reported accurately Mr Tole confirmed that the objection had been precised for the purposes of the report but that the full unabridged version had been available in the members’ resource room.

The Cabinet Member was mindful that further developments in the vicinity could well have an effect on what should be provided here and therefore what the best option might eventually be. Therefore having regard to that, the information set out in the report and the representations made to him at the meeting the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision as follows:

to defer proposals for a replacement raised zebra crossing on Oxford Hill, Witney pending further information regarding traffic speeds and usage.
