General info
Cherwell Heights is a housing estate in Banbury, which was built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is a relatively large estate in Banbury and has many open areas and parks. The A4260 (Oxford Road) runs adjacent to the estate
Planned expansion
Recently it has come into the spotlight, along with Bodicote, because of the recently approved plan to build a new estate of about 1,070 houses on the land between Cherwell Heights and Bodicote, thus almost merging the village with the town.
Over the past few years there have been plans to build a new estate on College Fields adjoining both Bodicote and the Cherwell Heights housing estate of Banbury. In February 2006 Cherwell District Council voted to proceed with the plans despite a 20,000 signature petition against it. About 1,070 houses will be built in the estate, which will include local shops, a public house, a church, a restaurant, a school and other local services.
