OX Place is set to hold a first round of public engagement in October on its emerging proposals for the former landfill site at Redbridge Paddock.
The 8.9-acre site opposite Redbridge Park and Ride was used for landfill in the 1960s and 1970s. It is now earmarked for development in the Local Plan 2036 and Oxford City Council hopes to build at least 200 homes on the site.
OX Place has been working in partnership with The Hill Group to draw up plans for Redbridge Paddock. The emerging proposals will be on display at St Luke’s Church in Canning Crescent on Saturday 12 October from 10 am to 2 pm and on Monday 14 October from 4 pm to 8 pm. The project team will be available on both dates to talk about the proposals and answer any questions.
Local residents will be notified about the exhibition by post in the coming days. OX Place also intends to meet with key stakeholders during October to understand their views.
The emerging proposals will also be available to view on the Redbridge Paddock website from 10 am on Saturday 12 October. An online feedback form will be available on the website for residents and stakeholders to submit their views by Thursday 31 October. OX Place intends to hold a second public exhibition later in the year to provide an update on the proposals.
Comment
“I’m pleased OX Place and The Hill Group are ready to consult residents and stakeholders on their emerging proposals for Redbridge Paddock.
“I hope that residents and all interested parties will either attend the public exhibition or take a look at the emerging proposals online and fill in a feedback form to let us know their views. This former landfill site presents a number of challenges from a development perspective but it is a great opportunity to deliver sensitively-designed, sustainable new homes that Oxford badly needs.”
