Given its land-holding at Long Marston, Magdalen College, Oxford is supportive of the potential new settlement at Long Marston Airfield (New Settlement Location E1). Our clients site at Campden Road, Long Marston falls within the boundaries of this potential growth option.
We agree with the analysis in the New Settlements Assessment Document (November 2024) that Long Marston Airfield is one of the “more suitable” locations for a new settlement. However, as discussed below, we consider this site should be allocated for development regardless, either as part of the Airfield or as stand-alone allocation. If the site is included in the Long Marston New Settlement allocation, it should be acknowledged that parts of the allocation could come forward early where land ownership and infrastructure allow. There is potential for logical development parcels (such as the College’s interest) to simply be delayed from delivery, if unnecessarily linked to wider strategic delivery objectives.
