AN OLD landfill site is suitable for housing, an independent study has found. Oxford City Council wants to build 200 homes on Redbridge Paddock, a field opposite the park and ride on Abingdon Road. The site will be one of the last large areas of land ripe for development within the city. It will be the largest housing development in the city after Barton Park, which will have 885 homes when completed. Development at Redbridge Paddock will be carried out by the council’s housing company, Oxford City Housing Ltd. The council said 'redevelopment of former landfill sites and brownfield land is increasingly common in the UK as pressure for land increases'.
