The site for Middle Norton comprises 16.5 hectares (gross) of land at Kilkenny Farm, just to the north of Carterton. It is broadly triangular in shape and is bordered by Burford Road to the east and Kilkenny Lane to the south, with Kilkenny Farm to the west. The site itself is currently arable land.
The developer, Harper Crewe Bloombridge, holds 100 hectares (250 acres) under long term option to purchase so there is scope for further housing development, but it is likely that at least 50% of the land will remain undeveloped, predominantly on the west side of Kilkenny Farm.
The site is being promoted through a joint venture between Bloombridge LLP and HarperCrewe, a new generation house builder seeking to deliver market-leading, high quality homes with excellent energy efficiency and sustainability credentials.
HarperCrewe and Bloombridge recognise that it is essential that any development should be a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can live together and feel part of a community. This is achieved through good placemaking; identifying how development can add to the settlement it belongs to, thereby enhancing and strengthening the local community.
