New ways of thinking about housing

It's not yet been confirmed that new private houses will be built in Pooles Lane. They are only at the planning stage and there is a strong case against them on conservation grounds.

A great idea Liz but where and and at what cost is the land available in Charlbury? Most of the new build houses I have seen in recent years are around a million pounds which presumably to some extent reflects the cost of the land? Like the new ones on the Ditchley Road and I would expect those to be built in Pooles Lane? I know these are probably larger and perhaps more luxurious but the average price here is about half that figure @ £490,000.

Some of us are concerned about how most of the new housing in Charlbury is designed for those who can afford high priced homes. Here's a short animation that talks about a new way of providing affordable homes. (For those of you who were at the Neighbourhood Forum workshop last year - visual minute now on the wall of the Coop - this animation is also by Kirsti).
