Broughton Road application for 58 homes would further extend the edge of Banbury
03/09/2025
The applicant says they will build “high-quality homes underpinned by an approach where sustainability and healthy living are celebrated”
The edge of Banbury could be further extended along the Broughton Road if an outline planning application by Lone Star Land is approved.
They have submitted a proposal to build up to 58 homes on a farm field next to Balmoral Avenue, south of work which is already underway behind the Bretch Hill water tower and opposite the Salt Way Farm Shop.
In a design and access statement they say: “The proposals will create a sustainable, attractive new community to the north of Broughton Road. The proposals will be defined by significant green infrastructure and high-quality homes underpinned by an approach where sustainability and healthy living are celebrated.”
The homes proposed are a mix of 2, 3 and 4+ bedroom homes with 30 percent affordable housing.
The applicant says they have engaged with local residents via an online consultation which was publicised through a leaflet drop. Key issues raised included increased traffic, insufficient infrastructure and flooding and drainage concerns.
Cherwell District Council anticipate making a decision by the end of November.
