A CONSULTATION is currently taking place on plans for a new £700 million “innovation district” in Oxford, which aims to become a “unique home and workplace for scientists, technologists and inventors”.

Oxford North is being built on 64 acres of land within the city’s northern boundary.

The development was granted planning permission in March last year and the developers are now asking for people’s views on parts of the project, including laboratories, communal spaces and a public park.

It will include three areas: 

  • Canalside, a 3.58-hectare plot of land to the south of the A40 and north of Port Meadow where developer Hill Residential will build 317 homes;
  • Central (to the north of the A40 and west of the A44);
  • and Eastside (east of the A44).

Take a look at pictures of what the development could look like below.
