Our new headquarters
Didcot Gateway site
We plan to build our new head office on part of the Didcot Gateway site. While Homes England is overseeing the redevelopment of the wider Didcot Gateway site, our new offices plan is separate to the wider development. However, we’re working closely with Homes England to make sure both developments complement one another.
We will share information on the wider Gateway site and Homes England’s development plans when we receive them.
District councils’ offices at Didcot Gateway
Our new head office is still in the design phase. The building is now being designed as four storeys high, not five as initially planned, and still includes large ‘living walls’ which will align the building closely with the garden town principles and support biodiversity. You can read more about the latest updates here.
We will involve local residents, and our staff and councillors throughout the process to help develop our building design. We will be looking at the various options for parking and other sustainable travel solutions to the building in due course.
There are lots of positive reasons that councillors have chosen the gateway site:
- Its proximity to excellent public transport links
- Its location close to the centre of the two districts
- It’s a sustainable option for the future both economically and environmentally
- It is land that South Oxfordshire District Council already owns. It offers the opportunity to share space with partners
Keep up to date
We will publish more information on proposals for our offices as they become available on this page.
