Warneford Park Pre-planning application consultation

Thank you

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone for your interest and involvement in September 2024 during our first consultation. We really appreciated the detailed conversations we had with you which gave us rich and helpful insights into how we move forward with our plans and designs.

The engagement report for the first consultation summarises the key feedback, ideas and suggestions received from everyone that took part.

Second consultation

We would now like to invite you to get involved in the second stage of the pre-planning application consultation for Warneford Park.

Our revised proposals have been developed to take into account your feedback shared so far. This second consultation includes exhibition events and a survey to present these revised plans in more detail and hear your views. We would also like to explain how we are responding to your feedback.

The proposals – a summary

For those that have not been involved in the first consultation, or who would like a reminder of our proposals:

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust are working in partnership with the University of Oxford and a partner to develop a major brain health research and innovation campus. This will include:

• a new mental health hospital, offering the best treatment, care, and therapeutic environment.
• a modern scientific facility for the world-leading brain research taking place at the University of Oxford, with additional space for biotech, pharmaceutical and start-up companies.
• a new post-graduate college for the University of Oxford focused on medical sciences, bio-engineering and related disciplines.

Consultation Videos

We have created a series of videos, which provide further information and answers to some of your questions across a variety of topics:

• Traffic and transport
• Landscaping and the environment
• Patient experience and research
• Architecture

We would like to encourage local residents, organisations and key stakeholders to get involved once again and share their feedback, so that we can understand whether the revised plans for Warneford Park meet people's needs in the best way possible.

The deadline for feedback is 5pm on Friday 10 January 2025.

• Read questions and answers about the proposals that have been shared through the first consultation and submit any new questions that you would like answered.
• Attend one of our drop-in exhibition engagement events on the 5, 6 or 7 December at the Warneford Hospital. (Events now finished.)
