The cement works at Chinnor closed in 1999 and the site is currently owned by Taylor Woodrow. They submitted a plan to develop the site to South Oxfordshire District Council (which included provision for between 150 ? 190 new homes), but later withdrew the application.
A planning brief produced by the district council includes a proviso for any development to include recreation facilities and Conservation projects in the water-filled quarries.
