Hill Rise, Woodstock by Blenheim Estate Homes
Our new development, marketed as Hill Rise, on the edge of Woodstock received planning permission in 2023 (Planning Appeal Ref. APP/D3125/W/23/3315391). The scheme is being build on behalf of the Blenheim Estate by Pye Homes.
The development will deliver 180 new homes (a mix of 2, 3 & 4-bedroom homes) including affordable homes and associated infrastructure, as well as a wide range of open spaces such as allotments and an upgraded play area, in a phased approach.
Development on Phase 1 of the site (48 homes) began in early 2025 and the show homes and customer areas are now open. Further supporting plans for Phase 1 can be found below:

Phase 2 (132 homes) of the site is currently subject to a Reserved Matters Application, which is available to view here. Further supporting plans for Phase 2 can be found below:

Community Update: October 2026
Thames Water will be completing installation works near to the permissive path (OX20 1AA) between 05/10/2026 – 23/10/2026, as approved by the local authority. Some minor disruption may occur during this period; however we will strive to keep this to a minimum.
The final stage of the roadworks to create the new entrance to the development, are underway. The final works include line painting, after which we expect the traffic flow management to be concluded. Further updates will follow as this progresses.
