Here's our round-up of the latest planning applications that have been submitted in Oxford this month:

Nine new homes for Marston

The City Council is applying to build a new row of homes in Cumberlege Close, Marston. 

Situated right on the edge of green belt land, the site is currently home to Cumberlege House. 

Each two storey property would have two parking spaces for residents and private gardens.

The two, three and four bedroom homes will be for social rent.

Cadet hut to make way for apartment block

The city council also wants to demolish and relocate a cadet hut in Cutteslowe in order to build a three storey apartment block featuring 26 new flats.

The site, known as Elsfield Hall would also feature space for 72 parking spaces and a shared courtyard garden. 

An L-shaped building would eventually be split into nine one-bedroom flats and 17 two-bedroom flats.

Oxford-based Cantay Estates, which owns the land, wants to build six blocks of flats containing 88 flats and 14 new homes across the site.

New life for historic building

A former tollhouse by Folly Bridge could be changed from a retail shop to a cafe. 

The small grade II listed building was built in 1826 and was recently vacated by the Folly Bridge Store. 

New owners want to install a kitchen and internal staircase and have also promised to halt 'years of decline'.

Shop could become flats in Botley

A vacant shop in Botley Road could be turned into flats. 

The unit, next to Country Grains at number 69 is empty but has been used for storage. 

Developers want to change its use from retail to residential and construct three flats.

Homeless shelter to make way for flats

A2 Dominion wants to demolish the Simon House homeless shelter in Paradise Street and replace it with 30 flats.

The project would be car-free – and is anticipated to have 16 one-bedroom flats and 14 two-bedroom flats but none would be affordable. 

Services provided at Simon House will move to a purpose-built development in Rymers Lane, Cowley this summer ahead of its demolition.

Homes in Gibbs Crescent could be knocked down and replaced with the new development comprising of 75 one-bedroom flats, 61 two-bedroom flats and four three-bedroom flats.

It is proposed to be a car free development.
