Consultation on the redevelopment of Evenlode, Charlbury

Cottsway Housing Association is inviting feedback on proposals to redevelop Evenlode, a former sheltered housing scheme in Charlbury.

The existing building is no longer fit for purpose and does not meet modern standards. The proposal is to demolish the building and three associated garages and replace them with 15 high-quality one and two-bedroom apartments for people aged 55+.

If planning permission is granted, the new homes would be available to people who cannot afford to buy or rent on the open market.

What’s being proposed

The plans include:

  • 15 one and two-bed apartments for people aged 55+ in housing need.
  • Parking beneath the building, including electric vehicle charging points
  • A communal roof terrace
  • Solar panels
  • Air source heat pumps for heating and hot water
  • Mobility scooter and cycle storage

Have your say

Before a planning application is submitted, you can see their plans and speak with the development team at:

  • War Memorial Hall, Browns Lane, Charlbury, OX7 3QW
  • On Tuesday 24 February between 5pm – 7.30pm

If you can’t attend, full details of the proposals will be available online from Tuesday 17 February to Monday 9 March 2026, including plans and an online feedback form. See:
