Oxford is such a place. Iffley Road in particular is part of a conservation area, and yet there is a proposal to build a huge indoor tennis centre. The area can be appreciated by looking at a map in hybrid fashion, as on Multimap.com. The plans themselves are, of course, copyright, but the scale is indicated in the lines drawn here.I have been to Oxford on a number of occasions, once even
for a couple of Unitarian ministry interviews in the late 1980s. It was the centre of Anglo-Catholicism, seems to be a centre of fundamentalist schism for Anglicanism now, and there is the Affirming Liberalism Conference being held in Oxford. Here can also be found the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, Director the Revd Professor Andrew Linzey, and some may note my ongoing interest in Ulric Vernon Herford, a founder of Free Catholicism who made his base in Oxford and was also particularly interested in animal welfare as part of his ministry.The planning application can be seen here but due to difficulties connecting there is a stage by stage method of looking and then objecting.
