Oxford City Council’s Cabinet is scheduled to meet on Wednesday 18 March 2026 to vote on a plan to build 237 new homes at Redbridge Paddock in Oxford, Oxfordshire. The project, which includes 118 affordable homes, aims to increase the number of houses available for local people who are currently in need of affordable places to live.
The new houses would be built on an 8.99-acre site at Redbridge Paddock, which is located on Abingdon Road opposite the Redbridge Park and Ride. The land was previously used as a landfill until the early 1970s, which meant experts had to carry out years of safety and engineering tests to ensure the ground was suitable for building.
According to Oxford City Council, this development is a key part of its long-term plan to provide enough housing for the city by 2036. The project is being managed alongside the council housing company, OX Place, and a development partner known as The Hill Group.
Councillor Linda Smith, Cabinet Member for Housing, described the plans as an important opportunity for the council to deliver genuinely affordable homes for Oxford residents. If the plan is approved next week, it will be a major milestone in turning the former industrial land into a new community.
