The plans outline one of 14 garden villages supported by the government in 2017 and are set to deliver up to 2,200 new homes, green space, community amenities and a 27-hectare business park.
The application, Grosvenor said, was the largest lodged to date for its Strategic Land division.
Alongside the homes and other features, the masterplan provides for new primary and secondary schools, sports facilities, allotments and 57,000 sq m of employment space.
Grosvenor said the project’s design reflected a “new benchmark for community engagement”, with local residents and front-line service providers closely involved through events, exhibitions and study tours of other award-winning schemes.
And Oxfordshire Garden Village will follow the sustainability goals Grosvenor set last year “to address the climate emergency”.
These include achieving net biodiversity gain with 40% of the site remaining undeveloped and close to four hectares of new woodland planted; 20% of the village’s energy demand being met through renewable sources; and walking and cycling being encouraged through a network of green routes.
Grosvenor’s Strategic Land division is aiming to build a portfolio of at least 30,000 homes by 2023.
Silvia Lazzerini, project director for strategic land at Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, said: “This application is the result of extensive dialogue with the community, council and stakeholders to make sure we understood and listened to local priorities and shaped our masterplan around them.
“The Oxfordshire Garden Village presents a fantastic opportunity to deliver the homes that the area needs. It is also a chance to set a new benchmark for what a sustainable, deliverable development at scale can look like.”
