Study into the transport infrastructure at Hanborough Station and the surrounding area - AWARD

The purpose of this study is:

1. Identify the current role and function of Hanborough Station and the main current issues associated with the station and the rail service (such as traffic congestion on the A4095, single track line, short platform and sub-standard pedestrian and cycle network);
2. Set out the main improvements currently planned for Hanborough Station and the Cotswold and Malvern Line, together with a timeline for provision;
3. Consider the potential role of Hanborough Station as a transport/mobility hub and what additional improvements would be feasible in the short, medium and long term, including the provision of appropriate vehicular, public transport, pedestrian and cycle connections to the station as part of an assessment of 'first/last mile' and 'whole journey passenger needs', especially from the proposed developments at Eynsham, Witney and Woodstock; and
4. Look at the opportunities to facilitate the funding and delivery of improvements, including consideration of the production of a Station Travel Plan.

The study will also form part of the supporting evidence base for the Area Action Plan (AAP) and the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) being produced for the garden village and West Eynsham, respectively, and for the West Oxfordshire Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP).
