| Forest Road site in Charlbury (source: Google maps) |
After three years of discussion and negotiation about a self-build housing scheme for Charlbury families, it looks as though we have got somewhere at last. With the support of our local landowner Cornbury Park, the Beacon Project is now working as part of a development team for a mixed tenure eco housing development on land at Forest Road, opposite the train station and adjacent to the light industrial area.
NB This is NOT the field behind the Cricket Club! This development would be on land behind the small industrial estate, which was once earmarked for possible expansion of that industrial estate.
We are currently working with the team on all the elements needed for a planning application later in the year, including the housing needs and specifications of the self-build houses themselves, as well as those of our affordable housing provider, Sovereign Housing. We are also looking at the sustainability and environmental aspects of the site and the common spaces.
If you are a Charlbury household (or have strong links to the town) and would like to express an interest in self-building at Forest Road, do get in touch.
