Oxford's Jericho Wharf redevelopment stalled as landowner abandons plan, sparking calls for council-led action.
The landowner behind the proposed redevelopment of Oxford’s historic Jericho Wharf has abandoned plans for the site, leaving it unused for over two decades despite having planning permission since 2023.
The Jericho Wharf Trust, backed by over 2,000 supporters, is urging Oxford City Council to use a Compulsory Purchase Order to take control of the land and ensure future development includes a working boatyard, community center, public space, and housing.
The group criticizes the landowner for failing to act on past projects, including a canceled £35 million plan for 230 student flats.
With growing public support and ongoing advocacy, the community insists the site must be preserved and developed in a way that honors its heritage and meets local needs.
