Figure 21 shows building heights for the proposed business space (B1) and housing at the Veolia
site off Cowley Road of between 5 to 6 storeys and a maximum of 8 storeys. The proposed uses on the
neighbouring areas also include tall buildings.

The proposed uses and the building heights for the Veolia site are supported, and these higher
value uses are necessary to enable the existing waste recycling transfer facility to be relocated
off site, otherwise relocation would not be viable.

In addition, the phasing of redevelopment will be important in order to ensure that tall buildings
are compatible with existing uses e.g. waste recycling transfer facility such like Veolia that
might remain in operation if an alternative site is not identified. It is unlikely that effective
temporary noise mitigation measures could be provided within the proposed residential buildings to
address
the noise generated by activities associated with the existing waste recycling transfer facility.
