The £47.9m residential-led scheme for Barton Park is moving to the next stage as Redrow submits a Reserved Matters application.
Plans for the next stage in the development of Barton Park in Oxfordshire have been revealed, with the submission of a Reserved Matters Application for Phase Three of the site. The plans, which were submitted by Redrow Homes South Midlands, are for a 13.84-acre phase of homes on the 90-acre development, located close to the A40 in the north-east of Oxford.
The submission includes the provision for 207 two, three and four-bedroom homes, of which 83 will be for social rent. The application also includes a series of individually designed ‘pocket parks’ established within the streetscape, creating opportunities for informal play and a place where residents can socialise.
The development is being brought forward by a partnership between Grosvenor Britain & Ireland and Oxford City Council.
Once complete, Barton Park will provide almost 900 homes. Residents are set to benefit from a primary school, community hub, children’s play areas, parkland – including cycling, running and walking routes – communal gardens and allotments, as well as new sporting facilities, a commercial centre and sustainable transport links.
John Mann, Managing Director for Redrow Homes South Midlands, said: “Barton Park is set to be a truly unique example of sustainable and community-focused living, in what will be an exciting and transformational development.
“We’ve been working closely with Grosvenor and Oxford City Council to progress our vision for phase three of the development, with a well-considered layout that encourages integration and engagement with the wider community, whilst mirroring the design of buildings in the surrounding area.”
Alex Robinson, Strategic Land, Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, said: “Barton Park is a great example of what can be achieved when the private and public sectors work together to deliver new homes. By combining Grosvenor and Oxford City Council’s expertise and working in partnership with leading housebuilders like Redrow Homes, we are helping to meet Oxford’s housing need while creating a place where people are proud to live and derive benefits from.”
