flag The Crown Estate bought 221 acres near Oxfordshire for labs, offices, homes, and jobs, pending planning approval.

flag The Crown Estate has bought 221 acres of farmland near the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire for £17 million, with early plans for labs, offices, manufacturing space, and up to 400 homes. flag The project is projected to deliver £4.5 billion in development value, £2.5 billion to the UK economy, and 30,000 jobs nationwide, but no planning application or masterplan has been submitted. flag Because the site sits within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, any proposal will face strict environmental scrutiny, and officials say decisions will depend on detailed, transparent assessments.
