North Oxford golf club to close and be redeveloped as housing in late October 2025 (h/t to the Oxford Clarion again!)

Submissions to Cherwell District council show the redevelopment covering the entire area:

The wider aspects of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 are summarised in the first result, "PR6b Land West of Oxford Road Development Brief Cherwell District Council August 2022", and that's well worth a look too. However, this OSM note is just about the immediate aspects of the golf club being shuttered soon: "disused:" prefixes for all the buildings, holes and fairways, I guess. Won't be a building site for a bit, I imagine.

Is this still here? The permanent JCR building reopened a few months ago following the completion of RAAC removal work. Verify on ground if possible as satellite imagery may be out of date.

Bulwarks Lane is currently closed. It was supposed to reopen in late 2025, but it is still closed as of 2025-02-14, due to construction work at St Peter's.
