Plans for up to 104 homes in Chipping Norton go before councillors on Monday (April 14) with a recommendation for approval.

Gleeson Land’s application to develop a 5.1-acre agricultural site east of Burford Road will be considered by West Oxfordshire’s uplands area planning sub-committee. The approval recommendation is subject to the signing of a legal agreement.

The outline plans allow for 40 per cent affordable homes.

However, the site is close to a number of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), including Glyme Valley SSSI, and has attracted more than 100 objections.

It is also close to a conservation target area, identified in the West Oxfordshire Local Plan.

The team on the project includes Nexus on planning, Richards Urban Design on architecture and i-Transport on transport planning.
