Valley Park is a joint development by Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon Homes and Charles Church. Our vision is to provide a vibrant, exciting, high quality residential-led development, which is seen as the natural choice both for the rapidly-expanding workforce employed in Science Vale UK and for those who already live in the area.

The site
The site consists of approximately 178 ha of land to the west of Didcot. The site consists of land mainly in agricultural use, with established hedgerows and trees. There is a stream that runs across the site from north to south and there are several public rights of way that cross the site including Cow Lane which is a bridleway.
To the east of the site is the recent development of Great Western Park which is still under construction and the west of the site is bounded by the A34. The A4130 runs along the northern boundary. To the north is Milton Park, a large business park consisting of a range of employment uses. To the west beyond the A34 is the village of Harwell.
The site is approximately 3 km from the centre of Didcot, there are good links from the site along the A34 to the M4 and beyond. Didcot has a mainline railway station which is approximately 3km from the site. This provides regular services to London, Bristol and beyond.

Sustainability
From building homes with fewer and more sustainable resources to preserving and enhancing local wildlife, we’re playing our part in creating a greener, healthier future for our customers and communities.
Transport
The Access & Movement Parameter Plan sets out a coherent and legible network of routes which will be designed to cater for all modes of transport and to promote and prioritise active travel through walking and cycling. This section expands upon this by providing design principles and codes for the movement related aspects of the Valley Park development.
