A master plan for future housing development at the former Upper Heyford airbase - providing 1,000 homes - has been handed in.
About 250 of the existing houses on the former USAF nuclear air base will be kept, with 750 new homes being built.
They would be a mix of flats, affordable houses and larger detached homes.
The plans, put forward by the North Oxfordshire Consortium, would also include about 1,500 jobs with existing firms expanding and others moving in.
Community amenities would include a new primary school, a local centre retaining the existing shop, children's play areas, open spaces, sports facilities using mostly existing buildings, landscaping and the creation of a woodland on the northern and western sides of the site.
