THE consultation into Oxford University’s proposals to build housing on the site of the Wolvercote Paper Mill has been extended.

The university wants to sell the 17 acres of land, but first it is hoping to get planning permission for 190 homes.

A planning application has now been submitted for the site, which will also include offices, community facilities and public open space.

Residents are concerned the development will bring extra traffic into the village.

Comments can be sent to Oxford City Council by emailing them to planning@oxford.gov.uk before September 6.
