Report of Assistant Director Growth and Economy

Purpose of report

To seek approval of the Public Realm Strategy Frameworks for Banbury, Bicester and Kidlington by Executive for inclusion within  the evidence base for the Local Plan and as guidance for the Area Oversight Groups.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Frameworks are presented as high level policy documents. The Frameworks’ suggested public realm interventions are therefore aspirational at this stage and do not have funding allocated to them, with the exception of the three projects which are currently being developed for (i) Bicester Market Place; (ii) Bicester Bure Place and (iii) Kidlington High Street.

Recommendations

The Executive resolves:

1.1           To approve the inclusion of the Public Realm Strategy Frameworks for Banbury, Bicester and Kidlington as part of the evidence base for the Local Plan and as guidance for the Area Oversight Groups.

1.2           To agree delegated authority for the Assistant Director for Growth and Economy, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Finance, Property and Regeneration, to arrange the final presentation of the Plan and make any necessary minor amendments to it, including any typographic or formatting errors prior to publication.
