New villa buildings are positioned around a series of lawns and courts. New buildings and the important current building stock will be sensitively landscaped. The works will include the reinstatement and enhancement of orchards and new planting of native trees. The biodiversity of the site will be increased.

It is the largest employer in Oxfordshire with 13,453 direct employees3 at 31 July 2016 representing 12,265 Full Time Equivalents.
