Fresh plans have been lodged to introduce a new car park to an Oxfordshire town which the applicant says will "improve the flow and safety of traffic".
The proposals have been submitted by Annington Property Ltd for Kenley Avenue in Carterton at the site of a current garage court and open land.
An applicant paper says: "These proposals, through the redevelopment of the existing garage court, and the provision of additional spaces within the estate road on currently unused open land would provide enhanced car parking for the estate as a whole, thereby reducing the need for vehicles to park on the highway and as a result improving both a free-flowing safety of traffic and pedestrian safety in the local area."

The car parking plans stretch over a 0.10 hectare site area and involve the addition of 17 spaces on the existing garage court and open land on the estate, taking the number up to 29.
Annington Property Ltd insists the new parking court will not "increase development into the countryside" as it would be "contained within the existing confines of the residential estate".
The site forms part of a larger residential estate.
If plans go ahead, the parking would be provided on land adjacent to number 21 Kenley Avenue and also land between numbers five and 16 Kenley Avenue.
