We are pleased to announce that our appeal for up to 160 dwellings at land off the B480, Chalgrove has been allowed. The proposals include 40% affordable housing, new play areas, net gains in biodiversity and allotment space on site.
This approval comes after a previous appeal dismissal where the Inspector wanted to allow more time to test the spatial strategy of the then relatively recently adopted local plan. After two years of deteriorating housing land supply, Gladman were able to submit a second application and work with South Oxfordshire District Council to reach a recommendation for approval.
While this recommendation was overturned by committee members, the Inspector of the appeal ultimately saw the benefits that this application would provide, and afforded very significant weight to the delivery of both market and affordable housing.
Thank you to everyone involved on the project
