  • Thank You for Attending Our Exhibition
    Welcome Aerial image showing site outline Thank you for attending our exhibition. Thank you for attending our exhibition. You may be aware that the five District Councils and the County Council are currently considering how to support the likely growth of the Oxfordshire economy over the next 20 years. Each of the local authorities is working to provide sustainable solutions to the delivery and management of this growth. Here we are setting out our vision for the South Oxford Science Park. This site is on the edge of Oxford, close to existing transport links, jobs and facilities. Our proposals make the most of the location and provide new infrastructure, further job opportunities, increased public transport, pedestrian and cycle routes as well as much needed housing of all types. By focusing development here, we can provide a sustainable solution to housing need while protecting other parts of South Oxfordshire from less sustainable development while would provide fewer benefits for existing communities. This exhibition outlines the key considerations for any development at this site. It covers information identifying the opportunities to provide new housing and employment on site, how the transport links will work and what new facilities will be available to the community. Members of the technical team are on hand to answer any questions and discuss the proposals with you. This includes experts on landscape, ecology and drainage. All of the plans and diagrams on show are draft and subject to change as the proposals for this site progress. Magdalen College and Thames Water are in the process of preparing an outline planning application for the site.
