JCA gets outline planning permission
The block plan for the purposes of outline planning permission
Approval in principle for the new centre
Posted - June 08, 2010In order to secure land for a new community centre on the canalside site, the Jericho Community Association applied for outline planning application for the centre. This was granted unanimously by councillors at the Central, South and West Area Committee meeting on June 8, 2010.
This enables us to comply with the legal agreement reached with Spring concerning the transfer of land. Spring has now gone into administration but this commitment will pass to any new owner. Detailed plans for the centre will be drawn up later following community consultations.
The shaded area in the drawing above shows the area that the new centre would occupy.
Who has a car?
According to the 2001 Census, only 47% of Jericho households have a car compared with 67% for Oxford as a whole.
Margaret Thatcher used to live here?
In her Oxford days, she lived at 12 Richmond Road. It is alleged she shared the house with two red-hot communists who lived on a diet of sausages. This may account for her later views on socialists and known dislike of sausages.
