What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Taylor Wimpey is proceeding with a housing development in Didcot, expected to comprise around 3,300 homes. Construction of a GP surgery at Great Western Park is scheduled to begin in March 2027. The land for the surgery was transferred from Taylor Wimpey to Vale of White Horse District Council, and legal and funding arrangements are advancing. The project previously faced a significant setback in 2025 when the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board ended its arrangement with Taylor Wimpey.
