Gifford Trust site

The Gifford Trust have approached the Beacon Project in relation to the potential for co-housing on their development site adjacent to the Spendlove Centre in Charlbury. The Project welcomes this development as a real step forward in the provision of co-housing or affordable housing in Charlbury, and have looked in detail at the site to see if it meets the needs of the Project's current membership. Detailed drawings were prepared and presented to the Project members for discussion (see above). After extensive discussion the Project response to the Gifford Trust was that the site did not quite meet the needs of the Project in terms of number and range of potential housing units, space for shared garden, lack of potential for self-building, lack of space for dedicated live/work studio, or space for energy generation.
