Residents and officials oppose converting Witney’s 250-space car park into 70 affordable homes, citing parking loss and congestion.
Residents and officials in Witney are pushing back against plans to convert the Woodford Way Car Park, with over 250 spaces, into up to 70 affordable homes, despite the West Oxfordshire District Council’s claim there’s no justification to alter its proposal.
The council says the site, designated for housing in the Local Plan 2031, offers a sustainable, central location.
Critics, including councillor Liam Walker and the Witney Chamber of Commerce, warn the change would reduce parking, increase congestion, and harm access to hospitals and businesses.
Labour councillor Andrew Coles supports partial development but urges prioritizing housing for key workers, citing the site’s proximity to emergency services.
