Heyford Park Masterplan

|
Dorchester Living have been working on preparing the future vision for Heyford Park building upon what has already been successfully delivered by creating a sustainable new town consisting of leisure, employment, renewable energy production and a range of mixed tenure homes.

The site is located on predominantly on brownfield land providing the opportunity to create a significant new sustainable new town in Cherwell providing up to 6,000 additional much needed sustainable homes, new employment opportunities with a target of 0.5 jobs per household. Over the 30% of the site has been allocated for green infrastructure providing both biodiversity enhancements and leisure opportunities. The significant areas of hardstanding provide the perfect opportunity for renewable energy production such as solar to be co-located.

The masterplan has been carefully designed by architects Proctor & Matthews and landscape architect Kim Wilkie. It creates a new ridged settlement that utilises the topography of the site with a woodland edge in keeping with the wider countryside features. The sites disused runways and taxiways will be reused as the transport network across the site and the key buildings will be repurposed for community uses.

The more sensitive locations around scheduled monuments have been transformed into common land where the current setting wont change. Public rights of way that were severed by the creation of the airfield will be reinstated allowing surrounding villages to utilise the services provided across the new town.

The scale of the new masterplan allows for infrastructure to be planned on a suitable size such as plans to reopen Ardley Station and to upgrade Heyford Station to provide sustainable transport connections between London, Birmingham, Oxford and Banbury.

This is a very exciting point in the journey where for the first time there is a strong vision for the whole site creating a dynamic and sustainable settlement with a forward-looking community that respects its heritage and reawakens the vibrancy that the site had during its time as an airbase.
