Warren Meadow footpath diversion
The City Council plans to divert the footpath that runs through this area (FP 320/80). This continues over land belonging to the Churchill Hospital and leads to Warneford Meadow.
On 24 August 2021 the Secretary of State for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs confirmed the Oxford City Council (Footpath No 80, East of Warren Crescent, Oxford) Public Path Diversion Order No. 2 2019. This Notice of Conformation of Public Path Order was published in the Oxford Times on 25 November 2021.
The original Order was cancelled and the new Order dated 14 May 2019 can be seen here. The Proposed Site Plan to which that Order refers can be found under this Documents list of the main planning application
(13/01555/CT3).
