LOCAL people can have their say on plans to build a new neighbourhood and primary school south of Oxford Parkway station.

Although exact numbers are yet to be decided, 690 homes have been allocated for the area in the Cherwell Local Plan.

Located to the east of Oxford Road, Christ Church owns the site south of Oxford Parkway, and is adjacent to the northern edge of Cutteslowe.

The University of Oxford college owns additional land to the east of the site, known as PR6a.

James Lawrie, treasurer at Christ Church, said: “We are committed to delivering the best possible scheme for Water Eaton, to provide much-needed new homes for Oxford, while working carefully with the local environment and supporting the community.

“Having evolved the design for the scheme since our consultation last year, we’re keen to get people’s views on certain aspects of the current scheme so we can continue to develop our plans to create a neighbourhood that maximises the benefits to the local community and is as environmentally sustainable as possible.”

Christ Church held an initial public consultation last autumn, ahead of submitting an outline planning application to Cherwell District Council upon the end of the latest consultation stage.

The current consultation closes on July 29, with an online webinar taking place on July 12.

If approved, construction would start in late 2024, before finishing in 2030 or 2031.
