Firstly I must say how pleased I am with Oxford City Council Planning department for listening to my objections regarding neighbouring developments.
Thanks to their efficiency  one  proposal was amended.The other other proposal to build onto an historic Coach House in Magdalen Road, has been thrown out altogether.
I therefore hope that this efficient Planning Department will take another look at the Westgate Proposal.
The drawings looks absolutely hideous and are too square, modern and boxy looking.
It is hardly an improvement on the attractive gabled facade we have at the moment.
Gabled roofs are found in most beautiful historic towns of medieval origin.
Therefore the current gabled facade is more appropriate for historic medieval Oxford.
I did suggest to the architect that the ugly square lines line could be broken up  with a crenellated  battlement design that would be in keeping with the nearby Castle.
The  square box design urgently need to be improved as Oxford is a very special City.
