Plans for 25 Wellington Square would see a 1970s graduate accommodation block demolished and replaced with new academic, retail and café facilities

Stanton Williams is preparing a planning application for the redevelopment of 25 Wellington Square, a 1970s graduate accommodation block in the Jericho area of Oxford.

The client is Oxford University Development, a joint venture between the University of Oxford and Legal & General. The submission is now expected in autumn 2025, having previously been targeted for spring.

The scheme proposes the demolition and redevelopment of 25 Wellington Square, which fronts the square on a raised deck and projects at the rear over Little Clarendon Street. The project includes the refurbishment of a Victorian terrace on the western side of the square, which currently provides academic space and residential accomodation for the Department of Continuing Education.
