Residents consulted on roads for 1,175-home Heyford Park development

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 06:22 · Archive

Oxfordshire residents are being asked for views on proposed road changes to support a new 1,175-home development at the former RAF Upper Heyford site near Bicester.

Residents in Heyford Park near Bicester are being invited to share their views on proposed road and travel route changes connected to a major housing development. The proposals affect Camp Road and Chilgrove Drive and are part of plans to develop up to 1,175 new homes on land north of Camp Road at the former RAF Upper Heyford site.

The changes include extending the existing 20mph speed limit on Camp Road eastwards to cover a new signalised junction for Chilgrove Drive, which will serve as the access road to the housing development. Further 30mph buffer zones, each 300 metres long, are planned for Upper Heyford Road and an unnamed road running south, leading into the village's 20mph limit.

Oxfordshire County Council said the proposals are intended to introduce 'various highway and active travel improvements' as a result of the development. The old Chilgrove Drive will be closed to motor vehicles to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders using nearby public rights of way.
