THE final remaining building from the former Early's blanket factory looks set to be demolished soon after developers put forward plans for 160 homes on the site.
A planning application has been submitted to West Oxfordshire District Council by developers David Wilson Homes and Persimmon Homes, which have jointly bought the land in Dark Lane from All Souls College, Oxford, for an undisclosed sum.
If the go-ahead is given, the redundant woolhouse will be pulled down and 101 houses and 59 flats built on the 7.3-acre piece of land, which borders the Marriotts Close site, the new West End Link Road, known as Woodford Way, Puck Lane and Mill Street.
The application has been submitted a month after Simons Developments presented plans for the re-development of the former Marriotts Close football ground and Welch Way car park into a shopping, cinema and restaurant complex, with a ten-level multi-storey car park.
There are plans for 185 new homes at Marriotts, including 50 flats, houses and bungalows on the former county council highways depot, next door to the Early's site.
More than 150 flats and houses have already been built opposite the site, on the other side of Mill Street, at Bryant Homes' Jacobs Mill development following the demolition of the rest of the former Early's buildings three years ago.
