Hundreds of objections have been raised against plans to build houses and a care home over two green fields, with a decision due next week.
The proposal to construct 121 homes, an 80-bed care home and green space to land at Bayswater Farm on the outskirts of Headington was submitted to South Oxfordshire District Council in January with a target decision date of April 11.
Land at the Sandhills site near Barton is part of a "strategic allocation" in the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035, with the total 110 hectare area expected to deliver around 1,100 new homes up to 2034.

Objecting to the Bayswater farm development, householder Michael March said: "I can see no justification for concreting over Bayswater Farm Field now when it has resisted repeated developers' attempts to do so over the past 65 years or so.
"And the reasons that have been given for refusing permission for development are as valid today as they ever were, if not more so."
Barton and Sandhills ward councillor Jabu Nala-Hartley has also said she is against the plans to build at Bayswater Farm in the run-up to the decision being made, with "environmental grounds" forming the basis of her objection.
The Oxford Socialists Independents councillor added: "I am against the development because most people that are going to have those homes are millionaires.
"They are being created to create second homes, not social housing."
A South Oxfordshire planning statement says: "Crucially, there are currently 3,370 and 3,401 people waiting for a home on the South Oxfordshire and Oxford City housing registers respectively.
"This application will, as part of the affordable housing package, deliver a minimum of 35 per cent social rented tenure homes.
"This would equate to up to 25 social rented properties for those is the greatest housing need.
"Furthermore, 25 per cent of the affordable homes would be provided as affordable rented tenure, equating to 18 homes.
"This is a significant social benefit of the development."
Mike Rowley, also a ward councillor for Barton and Sandhills has said he will continue to oppose the development due to transport concerns.
Oxford resident and objector Rosalind Rogers said: "This application will change the character of this outer city estate with its tree lined roads.
"Having heavy construction traffic through could lead to damaged grass verges and the loss of trees.
"This application includes an 80 bed care home which will generate hundreds of extra vehicle movements - nursing and ancillary staff, medical, family and friends visits."
The applicant insists the development will create access to existing Green Belt land through delivery of new footpaths across the site, linking to the existing network.
A planning paper concludes: "This enables the retained Green Belt to the northern edge of the site to provide a recreational resource, with biodiversity enhancements to be delivered through the development.
"The substantial area of open space will include an extensive network of routes which connect into the wider pedestrian and cycle network.
"It will also promote interaction between the new and existing community, as well as health and wellbeing."
