Oxford plans 240-home development on former landfill site

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 06:03 · Archive

Oxford City Council's housing company has closed a consultation on plans for 240 homes at Redbridge Paddock, a former landfill site.

A consultation has closed on plans by Oxford City Council's housing company, OX Place, to build 240 homes on Redbridge Paddock, a council-owned brownfield site between Abingdon Road and the River Thames opposite Redbridge Park and Ride. The site, which covers around 11 acres and was previously used as a landfill, has been disused for some time and is identified within Oxford's planning framework as suitable for housing development.

Residents had until Sunday, October 11, to comment on the updated proposals. The feedback will now be reviewed before an outline planning application is submitted, expected later this year. The development aims to address Oxford's housing shortage and would deliver a mix of one-bedroom flats to five-bedroom houses.

According to the consultation material, more than 30 per cent of the site would be set aside as public open space, with landscaped communal areas, informal recreation space and a linked cycle route running through the development. Plans include a mix of affordable homes alongside open market properties, with affordable housing available through both social rent and shared ownership tenures.
