Green light for second phase of Banbury community

Approval has been granted by Cherwell District Council for 94 new homes at Wykham Park Farm, located off Bloxham Road to the south of Banbury.

The new development, delivered by our South Midlands team is the next phase of the wider Wykham Park Farm scheme, which is part of the Catesby Estates strategic land portfolio following the acquisition of L&Q Estates by their parent company Urban&Civic earlier this year.

Upon completion, the development will bring 1,000 new homes to the Oxfordshire town, with 30% to be transferred to a housing association partner for rent and shared ownership.

A three-form-entry primary school will also be delivered as part of the development through the section 106 agreement and the developers will work closely with Oxfordshire County Council throughout its construction. Other community facilities delivered as part of the development include sports pitches, a pavilion and a local centre – including a community hall.

Russell Griffin, Managing Director at Charles Church South Midlands said: “We’re delighted to have received approval for this next parcel of homes at Wykham Park Farm and I want to thank Cherwell District Council for their support. Not only will this phase deliver 94 quality new homes, it will also create local jobs as part of the construction, generating a significant investment in the local economy.

“We’re committed to creating vibrant, successful communities and supporting more local families in getting their dream homes. We’ll continue to work in partnership with the Council and other stakeholders to ensure this community delivers real benefits for the whole community.”
