Work has now started on a new development of 80 affordable homes on land west of Mill Lane in Old Marston. The site will deliver high‑quality homes, for rent (32) or shared ownership (48).
The project is a significant step toward addressing Oxford’s severe housing need, while creating new homes that sit comfortably within the character and landscape of the village.
All the new homes will be affordable, including homes for social rent, where tenants typically pay around 40% of local private rents, and shared ownership, offering a flexible route onto the housing ladder in one of the UK’s most unaffordable cities.
Construction of the development is expected to take just over two years, with the new homes due to complete towards the end of 2028.
