PEOPLE have the chance to have their say on more than 1,700 homes coming to open countryside between Oxford and Kidlington.

A consultation opened on January 26 and will run until March 8 to allow people to express their views on three housing developments.

Here's everything you need to know about what's coming:

Where will the houses be?

There are three sites in north Oxford that these houses have previously been allocated for by Cherwell District Council.

One site covers land west of Oxford Road next to Jordan Hill Business Park and is called PR6b in the consultation.

That's a total of 1,790 homes across the three developments.

What else will be on the estates?

PR6b will have 'high-quality' and accessible green spaces, play areas and wildlife corridors.

Site PR6a will have a new primary school, play areas, public open spaces, an 'all-weather' cycle route and local shops to serve it and neighbouring site PR6b.

Why is a consultation being held?

Views are being gathered to be used as a guide on how the developments should be built and for future planning applications.
