Housing development protests have taken place across Oxfordshire over the years, with local communities uniting to oppose plans for thousands of new homes in their areas.

A gallery documents various demonstrations by residents expressing their opposition to building proposals.

These images capture groups of local people protesting against development plans in their communities.

Such opposition to housing schemes has been a recurring theme throughout the region.

One demonstration targeted a proposal for new housing on an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Chilton, taking place in 2014.

Village communities across Oxfordshire, including those in Radley, Wallingford, Stanford in the Vale, Wantage and surrounding areas, have staged protests with placards opposing development projects.

In Stanford-in-the-Vale in 2013, villagers demonstrated against the district council regarding plans for a new housing development on land adjacent to the village pub.

Some residents wore pig masks to symbolise their contention that the council had made misleading statements about the proposals.

The images document opposition to housing developments involving thousands of homes across Oxfordshire towns and villages spanning several years.
