Annotated plans for masterplan for new community at Chalgrove Airfield, developed during January 2017

1. Surface water storage located in areas of low lying
ground, with controlled discharge to water courses
down stream from Chalgrove
Swales along B480 will capture surface water from
the new development and connect to the water
storage areas. This will reduce the existing runoff
towards Chalgrove
B480 remains in existing location and alignment
along the edge of Chalgrove and retains its current
character and function as a bypass route
A new central street that follows the historic
alignment of the Oxford-Watlington road with the
majority of through traffic remaining on the B480
New junction into the new development
from the B480
Employment gateway at the site entrance with
a rural character through low scale barns and
courtyards
Playing fields and recreation space located close to
Chalgrove, retaining openness along the B480
Landscape planting edge to Martin Baker and
filtering long distance inward views from the
AONB
Allotments and community food production along
the proposed runway edge
Primary schools within walking distance of the
new community
Secondary school located along the main street
offering leisure and community facilities
Central parkland within the heart of the new
community
Additional tree planting and landscaping help to
create a more typical Clay Vale character.
Potential pedestrian connections between the two
settlements
Additional playing fields located towards the
proposed runway
Mixed-used street with facilities located at key
nodal spaces providing some shops and
community uses to support multi-faith, health and
well-being
