New affordable homes proposed for Studley

The application site comprises three parcels of land comprising some 4.6 hectares and is located to the southern side of Node Hill on the edge of Studley. The site comprises a mix of grazing land, equestrian and commercial yard.

The surrounding area comprises residential catchment area to the north; the Jubilee public house/restaurant lies to the south-east of the site at the junction of Middletown Lane and Bromsgrove Road with open fields to the south-west of the site. The site is enclosed by existing hedgerows interspersed with tree planting.

Access to the site is from Node Hill with a second access from Middletown Lane.

The site is located adjacent to but outside the built-up area boundary of Studley and forms part of the Green Belt and Arden Special Landscape Area.

The site is generally free of any physical constraints.  It is situated in Flood Zone 1, the lowest risk of flooding, is not designated for its wildlife or ecological importance, and does not contain any known, designated or non-designated heritage or archaeological assets.

The site is situated on the edge of the village of Aston, Oxfordshire. Aston is located on the B449, approximately 6 kilometres south of the town of Witney and 16km west of Oxford.

The village is served by bus stops along the B449 which has regular services between Witney and Carterton and contains a number of existing services including a Primary School, community shop, village hall, church and playing fields.

The application site comprises two agricultural fields located on the northern edge of the village, adjacent to North Street. The two fields are separated by a line of trees, shrubs and other vegetation. The proposal seeks to cross the northern field in order to access the southern field from North Street. The southern field, which will constitute the majority of the red line site runs east to west and is around 100m at its widest point and around 330m in length.

A small modern housing estate comprising six dwellings which was approved in 2014 is located to the immediate south-west of the proposal site, whilst a larger scheme for 41 dwellings accessed from Cote Road, is located to the south-east.

Access into the site is presently gained from North Street located in the south-western corner of the site and currently accessed through two metal gates.
