Stonewater has began work on a new 'affordable' housing development in Oxfordshire.

The 153-home project is being delivered in partnership with Cherwell District Council and developers Bellway Homes at Hanwell View, Banbury.

The four-year scheme is being built in phases, with the first stage due for completion in October.


In addition, Stonewater is working on a nearby development of 91 new homes in Chipping Norton

Chris Montague, Head of Development for Stonewater, said: "With access to the housing market so challenging, affordable housing has never been more important, particularly in this part of Oxfordshire where property can be hugely expensive and out of many people's reach.

"We look forward to working with Cherwell District Council and Bellway Homes on this much-needed housing scheme which will bring real value to the community."
