Battle and Bunce Talking Property

Oxfordshire Developers Forum

Atlantic Garden Media Episode 28

Oxfordshire – The Developers Forum.

Interview with Rachel Wood, managing director of Sladen Estates, and Charles Butters, who is strategic property advisor to Oxfordshire County Council and founder & director of Sulgrave Advisors. 

 Oxfordshire is going through a once in a lifetime series of growth changes. Driven by massive investment across the Golden Triangle (Oxford – Cambridge – London) in the Science sector, the county is experiencing high levels of planning applications and business growth which is changing its very nature.

 Rachel's Sladen Estates is the developer of Bicester Arc, a major commercial 'gateway' scheme. Oxford University graduate Charles, had worked for British Land but now, through Sulgrave Advisors, is providing expertise to Oxfordshire County Council. 

 This podcast probes their views on the key talking points around property development in Oxfordshire including planning, infrastructure, placemaking and investment strategies which have been incorporated into the recently launched, Oxfordshire Developers Forum which Charles references.      

Many of these challenges will be discussed at OxPropSummit at Trinity College Oxford on March 25 & 26 where both Rachel and Charles will be on our expert panels. 

 The Battle & Bunce podcast Interviews the people making the headlines across key property markets of Reading, Oxford, Cambridge and West London, loosely labelled the 'The Golden Triangle'.
