We’re thrilled to share the news that our new community of 540 homes, with community hub and care home for Merton College, Oxford has been permitted following an appeal against non-determination in early February 2024.

This landscape-led scheme will deliver a flexible central community hub building for residents use with a range of open space types delivering biodiversity, social spaces and play, all managed through a Community Trust stewardship model. The scheme will also deliver and manage over 30 hectares of informal public parkland and community woodland along with a nature reserve and new school sports facilities.

The appeal and costs decisions can be found here.
