We're delighted that our masterplan for Heyford Park has been recognised with two awards at the 2026 Planning Awards, winning both Best Use of Brownfield Land in Placemaking and the Plan-Making Award.

Organised by Planning magazine, the Planning Awards recognise excellence across the planning and placemaking sectors, celebrating projects that demonstrate innovation, collaboration and positive impact in shaping the built environment.

The strategic masterplan for Heyford Park is set to transform the former RAF Upper Heyford airbase into one of the UK's most ambitious new communities. The project will sensitively expand the existing neighbourhood across 500 hectares. Rooted in a strong sense of place, the design seeks to celebrate the site's heritage as an American airbase during the Cold War, while creating a dynamic and sustainable 21st-century settlement.

The masterplan will regenerate the brownfield site, delivering up to 10,000 new homes. Community, educational, and commercial facilities will build on Heyford Park’s existing businesses and its position within the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor, helping to create a hub for clean and green technologies.
