Flooding at fields off Grenoble Road over the last weekend in January 2021. THERE are concerns over the site for potentially thousands of new homes after the fields became inundated by floodwater over the weekend. Land off Grenoble Road, Oxford, has been earmarked for between 1,700 and 3,000 new homes in a controversial housing plan. But some of the fields where the new homes could be built as a result of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan were left underwater over the weekend, as Oxfordshire bore witness to flooding for the third weekend this year. A local householder who did not want to be named, took pictures of water on the fields and expressed fears over whether they would be suitable for new houses.
