Midlands housing association Bromford to deliver more homes at Graven Hill

Midlands housing association Bromford is to deliver more homes at the Graven Hill development in Oxfordshire, having been appointed to build 50 new properties, 31 of which will be affordable rent and 19 shared ownership.

Alongside its existing 93 properties at Graven Hill, Bromford will take ownership of the first 26 new homes before the end of 2023 - 16 affordable and ten shared ownership, while the remaining 15 affordable and 9 shared ownership homes will be handed to Bromford next year.

These will form part of the 1,200 new homes the housing association will be delivering in 2024.

Gemma Davis, the customer experience director at Graven Hill Village Development Company (GHVDC), said: "Bromford has worked at Graven Hill since 2017, helping to deliver 93 affordable homes to date.

"Graven Hill is unique and diverse and aims to offer the widest range of housing, from self and custom-build to apartments and extra care facilities. With 30% of the site providing affordable homes, it has been essential that we find a partner that shares the same vision; to deliver a successful, diverse and pioneering development."

Formerly a Ministry of Defence site, the 188-hectare Graven Hill project, the vision of Cherwell district council, has seen almost 500 homes delivered to date with hundreds more set to come.

It is the UK’s largest self and custom build residential development and is surrounded by woodland and has a network of cycle and footpaths connecting it to Bicester town centre.

A primary school opened its doors this month, alongside a cocktail bar, wine shop and dentist practice. A nursery school provider is also set to begin development.

Satty Tiwana, project manager from Bromford, added: "We’re delighted to be working with Graven Hill Village Development Company again to provide affordable housing on the latest phase of this project.

"We’ve just had the first eight homes handed over to us and our latest customers are getting ready to move into their new homes.

GHVDC is also seeking local contractors to tender for its next phase of new homes and apartments.
