WELCOME
Land at North West Radley is proposed for allocation
by the Vale of White Horse District Council (VoWH)
within their emerging new Local Plan 2031, for
around 240 new homes and supporting infrastructure.
Since then, using feedback from its
first exhibition, Radley College and
their design team have been working
to refine the masterplan options
to develop a holistic vision for the
village of Radley that brings genuine
community benefits.
Discussions between Radley College,
the Parish and Save Radley Village
during 2014 enabled the preparation
of initial masterplan options. This
resulted in a joint public exhibition with
the Parish on 8th and 9th November
2014 at the Radley Church
Meeting Room.

One of the
primary objectives
has been, and continues
to be, the creation of a
masterplan with permanent
edges and boundaries for the
village which should provide
certainty for the community about
the extent of future growth
and deter speculative and
piecemeal development
in the future.

The Local Plan is due to go to
Examination by an independent
Planning Inspector later in 2015. If
it is found ‘sound’ by the Inspector,
it will be adopted by the Council as
formal planning policy.
Radley College has consistently
expressed support for the proposed
allocation at North West Radley
on the basis that it represents a
logical infill of White’s Lane, and in
recognition that Radley is a logical
and highly sustainable location for
future growth.
4
The VoWH is in the process of
preparing its new Local Plan 2031.
Part 1 of the Plan deals with large
strategic development sites in the
Vale – that is sites in excess of 200
unit dwelling capacity – and policies
that will guide development in the
Vale until 2031.
Land at North West Radley (as
shown on Figure 1) is proposed
for allocation in the draft Local
Plan for 240 units plus supporting
infrastructure. The site is
expected to deliver a high quality
development that will be well
integrated with Radley.
A3
Planning Context
The college and
design team are of
the view that while the
North West Radley allocation
is fully deliverable and entirely
capable of successful integration
with the existing settlement in its
own right, there is an alternative
masterplanning solution for the
village which could also be
delivered in the short
term.
4
Radley village currently has a series of local
facilities which are dispersed throughout
the village.

DESIGN
EVOLUTION & OPTIONS
A masterplan has been prepared for the North West Radley allocation which seeks
to deliver the requirements of the Local Plan in a high quality way. Alongside this
exercise, an alternative design concept for Radley has evolved which has resulted in the
production of a masterplan framework for the North West Radley site, the site known as
North Radley and the site known as Gooseacre (Figure 3) (the Combined Sites).

While the North West Radley site could
come forward successfully in its own
right, and deliver high quality housing
in the short term, the ‘combined
sites’ approach will deliver additional
community benefits to the village.

Such benefits would be delivered
without a significant increase in the
number of units currently proposed in
the draft Local Plan – 240 dwellings,
plus a potential further 23 including the
redevelopment of Gooseacre – would
simply be spread across the expanded
site at a lower density.

ECONOMIC
& COMMUNITY BENEFITS
The proposals for Radley Village will generate
a number of significant economic benefits:
• The proposed development
could accommodate around
700 residents. It is assumed
that around 320 of the
projected resident population
will be employed, generating
around £14.4m of economic
output (GVA) per annum. Community
& Leisure

Both
Schemes
• The future households of
the proposed development
are estimated to generate
around £5.5m in retail and
leisure expenditure. This will
make a positive contribution
to the local retail and leisure
economy. • Around £1.7m worth of New
Homes Bonus could be
delivered via the scheme.
Of this approximately £1.4m
could be paid to the District
Council, contributing to the
delivery of key services and
infrastructure.

Over the next few months the
college and the design team will
be progressing the options and
seeking to work with the VoWH
to ensure that the proposals
for Radley represent the best
solution for the community, both
new and existing.
Detailed technical work in respect
of a number of issues ranging from
archaeology to drainage is underway,
and will culminate in the production
of robust evidence to demonstrate
that the North and North West
Radley sites are deliverable in the
short to medium term.
