Plans for new flats, houses and offices are just some of the new schemes submitted to Oxford City Council planning officers this week. 

Applicants publicly listed as Jonathan, Sarah and Anna Darby have submitted plans which include splitting a home into a five-bed and a three-bed home in Old Road, Headington.

The scheme also includes the demolition of two chimneys a greenhouse and side extension.

 Also installing solar panels and constructing a part single, part two storey extension to side and rear and new greenhouse.

In the application's planning papers it said: “In summary, the proposals would likely be considered unacceptable if a future planning application was submitted as it would be contrary to the policies of the Oxford Local Plan 2036 and the Headington Neighbourhood Plan.

Oxford Centre For Innovation (Image: Oxford City Council) “I consider that the proposals would however likely be acceptable if the two dwellings were only served by one access and frontage, along with the suggested changes proposed to the design of the building and the ancillary structures to the frontage.”

Plans have been lodged by Gareth Bertram for a new building comprising of three one-bed and three two-bed flats in Green Road. 

The application also includes private amenity space. 

In the scheme's planning statement, it said: “The principle of the proposed development is acceptable, with the scheme making effective and efficient use of land in a highly sustainable location. 

“The layout, scale, design and form of the proposals would respect the character of the area, responding positively to the mixed age, style and design of existing built development.”

An applicant called Emtage has submitted plans for three four-bed homes to replace an existing two storey detached building and garage in Ferry Road. 

Included in the plans are private amenity space, car parking, bin and cycle storage. 

Also three electric vehicle charging points, three air source heat pumps and solar panels. 

In the planning statement, it said: “These new homes are a much more beneficial addition to local housing stock, in Marston and the city as a whole. Instead of a large under used, city centre plot with a single dwelling on; this scheme efficiently uses the land to provide potentially three high quality, modern, family homes.”

Plans have been lodged by Padmesh Gupta change the Oxford Centre For Innovation, in New Road, from offices to mixed offices and educational use as a business college. 

The alterations will be for the inside of the building only.
