Kidlington: Langford Lane - proposed highway improvements

We're asking for your views on the proposals to introduce various traffic improvement measures as part of the development of the new Science Park adjacent to The Boulevard, Oxford Airport, and Langford Lane, in Kidlington - which includes the following features:

• New‘ No Waiting at Any Time’ prohibition (double yellow lines) on:
  1. the western side of The Boulevard, from its junction with Langford Lane,
  2. the northern side of Langford Lane, from its junction with The Boulevard.
• new ‘Time Limited’ 1hr No return within 2 hours parking provision on the western side of The Boulevard,
• construct a ‘Parallel signal-controlled’ crossing (with separate crossing facilities for pedestrians & cyclists) on Langford Lane, and
• introduce a section of ‘Shared-Use foot & cycleway on the north side of Langford Lane & the western side of The Boulevard.

The proposals form part of the agreed `Section 106` requirements in connection with the relevant planning consent (ref: 23/00517/F). These proposals also help form a part of the January 2022 Kidlington Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan for the wider Langford Lane Employment Area.

Have your say.

Please read the detailed information provided on this consultation and take the time to complete the survey as your views and opinions matter. Your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 20 June 2025.

Whilst we will endeavor to answer simple queries during the course of the consultation, any more complex questions/issues will be appraised and dealt with as part of consultation process.

What happens next?

The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for later in 2025. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports for meetings will be made available on the Oxfordshire County Council web site about a week before the meeting (please note that occasionally it is necessary to defer reports to a later meeting, and it is therefore advisable to check the agenda ahead of attending a meeting).
