A PLAN which could see 100 new homes built in a Cotswold town has been revealed.

Gleeson Land has proposed to build up to 100 homes in Chipping Norton.

If the plans go ahead, the homes will be to the east of Burford Road and south of Charlbury Road.

Gleeson Land is currently undertaking pre-application engagement with West Oxfordshire District Council with the intent of submitting an outline planning application in early November this year.

The public consultation aims to work with residents to refine its proposal before submitting it.

It will see residents fill out a survey through the group's website and allow them to contact the developers directly.

Outlined in the plans is also an amenity park located in the centre of the site and the potential for a new children’s play area.

The proposals will also deliver a biodiversity net gain of at least 10%, with new planting across the site aimed to support local wildlife habitats and enhance the character of the development.

Guy Gusterson, managing director at Gleeson Land, said: “We are delighted to present our initial proposals for the site and very much look forward to having meaningful discussions with local residents, groups and businesses across Chipping Norton over the coming weeks and, where possible, ensuring this is reflected in the final plans.

“Placing sustainability at the heart of the design, the proposed development will make a positive contribution to addressing the local need for more housing while at the same time delivering exceptionally high-quality and well-designed homes in a sustainable location.”

The proposal will include a 40% contribution of affordable housing through a range of tenure types, in line with WODC policy.

Gleeson Land said the proposed scheme would help to deliver much-needed housing in the district.

The site is considered to be highly sustainable for new housing, situated on the southeast edge of Chipping Norton, just a short walk from the high street and other local amenities.

With sustainability at the forefront, the developers say the homes are designed to achieve the emerging Future Homes Standard expected to be adopted in 2025.
