Didcot Garden Town

The Didcot Garden Town team is focused on improving the lives of residents in and around Didcot. Since achieving Garden Town status in 2017, the programme has supported sustainable development, green spaces, active travel and other community benefits. 

The purpose of a Garden Town is to create well–planned communities that offer high quality of life, balancing the benefits of urban and rural living. 

Didcot Garden Town’s vision is to create a well-balanced, sustainable, and thriving community in Didcot. 

Current delivery plan

We revised our 2017 Didcot Garden Town Delivery Plan programme in 2022 and again in 2025, as the Garden Town has grown, to help improve the lives of residents living in and around Didcot Garden Town.  The programme focuses on providing community benefits, a retail recovery strategy, encourage healthy lifestyles and help to tackle climate change. You can read our revised programme here.
