\n The retrospective planning application relates to Building 88, a former Fire Party Hut which would have been used by firefighting crews, within the RAF Bicester Conservation Area at Bicester Motion.\n<\/p>\n
\n The 18-square-metre building, which was later used for Ministry of Defence storage, has already been refurbished and brought into use as a Class E office.\n<\/p>\n
\n According to planning documents, the works were largely internal and included the installation of a glazed inner door behind the building\u2019s original timber entrance doors. A new external light fitting has also been added.\n<\/p>\n
\n The application, submitted to Cherwell District Council, argues the scheme preserves the building’s historic character while bringing a redundant structure back into active use.\n<\/p>\n
\n Bicester Motion says the proposal forms part of its ongoing heritage-led regeneration programme at the former RAF site, which is home to more than 50 automotive and aviation businesses employing over 800 people.\n<\/p>\n
\n The latest application comes as Bicester Motion advances wider plans for the 444-acre estate.\n<\/p>\n
\n These include proposals for 200 homes and a live-work neighbourhood known as the Motion Living Quarter, alongside expanded workspace and experience tracks under plans called The Rushes and The Ranges.\n<\/p>\n
\n Future phases also include a new headquarters for electric motor specialist YASA, which is owned by Mercedes-Benz, together with enhanced hospitality facilities including lodges and a clubhouse.\n<\/p>\n
\n Comments are due by October 11, with the planning authority due to make a decision by early November 2026.\n<\/p>\n
