House builder Hill has been selected as development partner for phase one of an 885-home scheme, Barton Park, in Oxford.
The firm was appointed by The Barton Oxford, a partnership between Oxford city council and Grosvenor Developments.
Barton Park is a planned residential-led neighbourhood to the north-east of Oxford that is intended to deliver up to 885 homes as well as a new primary school, supermarket and community hub, on an 8.8-acre site.
Hill will deliver, subject to planning, 237 homes, a mixture of apartments and houses, that will be affordable housing.
Councillor Scott Seamons, Oxford city council board member for housing and estate regeneration, said: “These new homes for rent and to buy will be built to an agreed plan that helps to meet the city’s housing needs and also provides a high-quality sustainable environment for the residents.”
Alison Brooks Architects and Pollard Thomas Edwards Architect will work with Hill to design the homes.
Plans are expected to be lodged before the summer.
