Situated to the south of the A40 and in close proximity to Junction 7 of the M40, the land assembled to deliver Harrington is neither in the Oxford Green Belt nor the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Crucially, the site also avoids building onto neighbouring villages so they are protected from unwelcome development.
A new settlement here delivers the sustainable growth and homes South Oxfordshire needs, without contributing to urban sprawl around existing communities.

Harrington is perfectly located to be a catalyst for the Oxfordshire-Buckinghamshire “Innovation Corridor”
Linking up Grove & Wantage in the west to Aylesbury in the east, the Innovation Corridor will improve connectivity between communities and science and innovation destinations including Harwell Campus, Culham Science Park and Westcott Venture Park.

Harrington has the potential to play a critical role in supporting sustainable economic growth and delivering the attractive, affordable new homes and facilities young local families are desperate for, of all tenures and incomes, in a truly sustainable community for those that work in the area.
