Land Case Study for Wolvercote Mill, Wolvercote

Despite its enviable location within cycling distance of Oxford city centre and surrounded by greenbelt, the site of the Wolvercote Papermill was vacant for over a decade. Cala’s vision for the site forms the single largest development to take place within Wolvercote for a generation. It exemplifies Cala’s commitment to driving best value from challenging regeneration projects.

Cala worked alongside Glenn Howell Architects to overcome the challenging technical and environmental restrictions posed by this brownfield site to greatly enhance the original outline scheme. The final design addresses local concerns regarding the flood risk and the need for amenities, providing a broad range of properties, including affordable homes, and a community hall.
