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.
What kind of households we have?
According the to 2011 Census, almost half of Jericho households – 46% – consisted of only one person, 24% consisted of couples with or without children, 7% were student households, and 11% were other multi-person households, while 6% were single-parent households.
The origins of Walton?
Walton is derived from "wall town" which was used centuries ago to indicate a location outside the Oxford city walls. The ancient manor of Walton was certainly in existence before the Norman conquest in 1066.
