Plans have been submitted to extend Oxford Park Homes caravan park in Sanford-on-Thames with 54 additional mobile homes.
Plans have been submitted to South Oxfordshire District Council to extend Oxford Park Homes caravan park in Sanford-on-Thames, just south of Oxford, with 54 additional mobile homes. The existing park contains 132 mobile homes off Kiln Close, adjacent to the A4074.
The applicant James Cooper has submitted the plans through ECE Architecture, proposing 52 two-bedroom homes built to the same one-storey specification with what the planning documents describe as a 'simple, traditional appearance'. According to the documents, the proposed extension is 'a logical and sympathetic addition to the existing park home community' that 'respects the character of the area, provides much-needed accessible housing, and ensures safe, inclusive access for all residents'.
A previous application in December 2023 sought to extend the site with 46 new mobile homes but was refused by the council. Planning officers said the development was 'unacceptable in principle' because it conflicted with housing and countryside policies, was situated next to a sewage works, had no good public transport or pedestrian links, and lacked sufficient information from the applicant. The new application claims that additional reports now address these matters previously raised by the council.
