The site is to be prepared and submitted for residential development. A planning application has not yet been submitted; the proposals are presently evolving. We envisage a proposal for in the order of 130 houses, which we are currently testing against the site’s constraints and opportunities.

The housing layout will reflect the current housing mix policy, which emphasizes the need for a mix of housing types and sizes to meet the needs of all sections of the community, including families with children, older people, and people with disabilities. The proposed development would also incorporate a suitable density. This is important in order to ensure that the site is sustainably developed and meets the NPPF’s requirements to maximise densities.

Additional housing at Banbury will provide additional economic spend to support the long-term viability and vitality of the full range of services on offer at Banbury. Whilst there is no suggestion that local services are under threat, additional spend inevitably improves commercial viability.

The development of Milestone Farm, Broughton Lane is a demonstrably deliverable option for providing housing led development in the local area. Kler Group Limited is a promotor with a track record for placemaking. Kler Group Limited has an objective to promote the site and bring forward planned, comprehensive, landscape led residential development which meets the Council’s carbon initiatives at the earliest opportunity via the plan making system.

There is a bespoke opportunity to provide housing which can deliver clear benefits to the local area, and not only provide housing, but also create a high quality, landscape led residential development that provides a new living opportunity for local residents. Ultimately, this proposal will help the Council meet its housing delivery target.
