​SODC approve Land to the West of Wallingford (Site B) as preferred location for new homes in Wallingford

Published on 14 December 2011

South Oxfordshire District Council recently decided to approve Land to the West of Wallingford (Site B) as their preferred location for around 400 new homes in Wallingford.

We are naturally pleased that the SODC has seen the merits of Site B and welcome the news that it will now go forward to the next stage of the Core Strategy process as the preferred option. There was a strong vote in support of the draft Core Strategy but we are also aware of the importance of working with Councillors who raised concerns about Site B so that we can improve the proposals that we will be bringing forward. We will also work with the Education Department and the planners with regard to the inclusion of a school within the development of Land to the West of Wallingford (Site B).

M&G’s intention is to submit a planning application for the site in April 2011 and it is our intention in advance of this to launch a new project website and to hold a public exhibition of the final draft proposals.
