  • WHERE: University of Oxford, Old Road Campus, Roosevelt Drive in Oxford. 

In brief: Oxford University want to keep a temporary building indefinitely. 

As it is, the building must go or be demolished in November, but planners have asked to keep it so that the overflowing numbers of staff can use it as a base for the 'centre of tropical research'.

  • WHERE: New College, Holywell Street in Oxford. 

In brief: Hugh Grant's old college could have a new shed outside in the area where it currently stores sheets, the wine fridge and bikes. 

If it goes ahead the shed will slide in behind the college chapel for seven years. 

Planners say it is needed because 'similar to other old buildings there is a lack of storage'.

  • WHERE: 52 Brickerton Road in Oxford.

  • WHERE: The Peter Medawar Building for Pathogen Research on South Parks Road in Oxford. 

In brief: The building could have two new heating pipes inbetween the buildings if the plans are approved. 

The heating pipes will connect to the underground system and run vertically up past the stairs. 

This will mean that new cladding will be added to hide the new piping. 

It will match the material and colour of the current exterior.
