Plans for air base take off (From Oxford Mail)
A DEVELOPER has submitted plans to turn part of the former RAF Bicester base into apartments and houses.
The City and Country Group hopes to convert 17 Grade II listed art deco buildings into 160 apartments and houses, ranging from one to five bedrooms, at the Skimmingdish Lane, Bicester, site.
The plans, which will need approval by Cherwell District Council, will also see the conversion of a former boiler house into a five bedroom house.
The firm wants planning permission to build a further 27 homes, which it says would be in keeping with other buildings at the 22-acre site of former military offices and accommodation.
Three car parks, including the former parade ground, will be transformed into large grassed squares, including one with an orchard, and a former lodge will be turned into a cafe and shop.
