Planning permission has been granted for 31 affordable homes at Bertie Place in Oxford, supporting efforts to increase access to affordable housing in one of the UK’s least affordable cities.
Approved by Oxford City Council’s Planning Committee, the scheme will be delivered by OX Place and will provide 22 homes for social rent and nine shared ownership properties.
Alongside the new homes, the development will include a replacement children’s play area, a multi-use games area (MUGA), new public open space, and improved access to green space via a new accessible bridge over Redbridge Stream and a nature trail.
Once complete, the scheme is expected to improve housing outcomes for more than 100 people, including over 70 residents accommodated directly within the new homes.
