A consultation on new documents submitted in connection with the Castle Mill student flats has started.

Oxford University handed over the information at the start of this month and a consultation will run until October 14.

It comes after the university produced a report on the environmental impact of the student accommodation buildings in Roger Dudman Way, which were found to have damaged views of the city’s dreaming spires and Jericho from Port Meadow.

Permission to construct the buildings was given by the city council in 2012 and the university has long argued that they address a vital need for accommodation.
