An assessment of the East Witney site demonstrates that there is the potential to accommodate a highly sustainable urban extension which is very well related to the existing Cogges community and Witney Town Centre.

The key assets and opportunities are:

• Proximity to the town centre, secondary schools and the Station Lane employment area
• Excellent potential for provision of effective public transport, cycle networks and walkable neighbourhoods
• A development that supports and builds on existing communities;
• The delivery of an upgraded Shores Green A40 junction which will provide much needed traffic relief to Bridge Street
• The potential for a park and ride site next to the A40 providing easy public transport access to Oxford to the benefit of the whole of West Oxfordshire
• Provision of a large community woodland that will deliver substantive landscape, biodiversity and recreation benefits
• Landscape and biodiversity enhancements in the Windrush Valley
• A new primary school and contributions to secondary education
• Affordable housing
• Land for allotments
