A cabin where patients who have received a Covid vaccine will be examined could be built at the Warneford Hospital.

A single-story Portakabin brand building would be erected on 'scrubland' in an overflow car park at the psychiatric hospital site.

According to a planning document detailing the works, the new building would be used for two purposes.

The document said: "Primarily it will be used for the examination of patients that have received the Covid 19 vaccine and have developed further symptoms once the government have given the approval to role out the vaccine to hospital staff and the general public.

"Until the approval is given, the units will be used as staff welfare for hospital staff as social distancing guidelines have put a strain on existing welfare facilities within the hospital."

Wooden patio doors which leave the basement of the Ashmolean Museum will be replaced with new ones of a much more 'robust design'.

The current white wooden doors, panelled with windows will be replaced, after approval from Oxford City Council.

The new doors will look similar to the current ones, according to project proposals, but will have metal reinforcement within them.

A planning statement said: " Notable alterations include the provision of fenestra joint metal glazing bars in place of timber glazing bars, and new opening transom lights for much improved ventilation."

Temporary solar panels, already installed at a house in Jericho, have been refused permission.

The solar panels on the roof of a house at Richmond Road were called in by Oxford city councillors after installation, and a decision was made by the West Area Planning Committee on January 19.

The house belongs to Sir Christopher Ball, a former warden at Keble College, and Lady Ball.

A garden at Trinity College, Broad Street, could be rearranged.

A lean-to glasshouse could be repositions under the plans, and the 'presidents garage' could be reworked for use as a storage area and office for the college gardener.

Because Trinity College is grade-II listed, there is also an application for consent to carry out work on a listed building.

A basement fire escape from St Peter's College has been approved.

The college will be allowed to install a steel ladder from one of windows in the basement leading up to the street level.

According to planning documents, the ladder would mirror a similar, existing escape on the rear of the New Inn Hall Street building.

Repairs to a listed timber-framed building owned by Jesus College have been given the go-ahead.

The building at 13 Ship Street is a college owned building built in the 17th century, and the college wants to remove the cement face, replace rotten wooden beams and cover the building in new plaster and lime wash.

According to a planning document, repairs are needed 'to reinstate the structural robustness of the buildings timber frame which is presently compromised due to the noted rot and decay.'
