Construction has officially commenced at Goose Green, Wolvercote, with a ceremonial groundbreaking held on Tuesday 14th July. The ceremony was attended by Oxford councillors, including Councillor Linda Smith, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities.

Delivered in partnership with Oxford City Council and The Hill Group, this scheme will provide 24 high-quality homes as part of the city’s wider Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The development reflects a shared commitment to addressing Oxford’s housing need through sustainable, energy-efficient design and a mix of tenures.

“Starting work at Goose Green, adjacent to the Oxford North development marks another important step in tackling Oxford’s housing crisis. These new homes will provide genuinely affordable options for local people, particularly those on our housing register or in urgent need.

“We are committed to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes across the city, and this area is a key part of that effort, helping us meet unmet housing need while building sustainable communities for the future.”

– Councillor Linda Smith, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities

“OX Place is pleased to be working in partnership with Oxford City Council to deliver this important scheme at Goose Green. There is a clear and urgent need for affordable housing in Oxford, and the company is proud to be playing a role in creating well-designed, sustainable homes that will benefit residents for generations to come.”

– Councillor Nigel Chapman, Cabinet Member for Citizen Focused Services and Council Companies

“Breaking ground at Goose Green is a significant moment for Wolvercote and for our continued commitment to Oxford. Working alongside Oxford City Council and OX Place, we understand the scale of the housing challenge facing this city, and we’re proud to bring in our expertise to deliver  sustainable, well-designed homes that will make a real difference to the community for years to come.”

– Ryan Harris, Regional Director, The Hill Group
