Thomas White Oxford North Northern Gateway Housing Infrastructure Fund City Council Homes England

Vital funds which will unlock the proposed Oxford North development are set to be given the green-light in a major boost for regional jobs and homes. The funding, set to be a percentage of the total £105m needed for infrastructure upgrades around the area, is set to go towards crucial infrastructure which includes new roads, landscape and drainage to ensure the site is suitable for development.

Thomas White Oxford, who’re behind the major development, are set to speak at the Oxfordshire Development Plans event in December about the scheme set to be unlocked by the infrastructure. Sitting on land between the Wolvercote roundabout, the A34 and the Pear Tree roundabout the area is set to be turned into a thriving new district on the outskirts of the city. Formerly known as the ‘Northern Gateway’ the scheme will deliver:

  • 4,500 new jobs
  • 480 new homes

Oxford City Council are likely to cover part of the costs from £10m provisionally allocated by the Housing Infrastructure Fund with an additional £8.85m from the developers’ contributions to the Community Infrastructure Levy.

Oxford City Council have said: ”The risk of not securing and investing these funds may have consequences for the implementation of the council’s adopted development plan strategies for Oxford. Although the situation is complicated because of the overlapping and contingent processes involved, the council has recognised the infrastructure challenges incumbent in delivering the strategic allocation.”

 

To hear directly from Thomas White Oxford on the scheme ensure you’re registered for the Oxfordshire Development Plans event in December.
