Northern access road is a given, but the current Cowley Road should be pedestrianised. This would allow for future development on the sewage works itself. There should be new pedestrian access points to the Business Park, to make it more cohesive with the new area. Nuffield Road can stay as it is, but the access to it should be via Milton Road, not it's present arrangement, and therefore the guided bus extension should be a road for all users, with bollards leading after Nuffield Road to the station.

Whilst I support the creation of a new pedestrianised boulevard on the existing Cowley Road, low level development would be a wasted opportunity. On the attached map, I feel that we could easily accommodate buildings of up to 20 storeys, though feel that a minimum of 8 storeys would be appropriate.
