About Elsfield
Elsfield is a picturesque village and civil parish located approximately 3 miles northeast of Oxford city centre, sitting at an elevation of 310 feet above sea level. Nestled on the western slope of a hill overlooking the River Cherwell, the village offers a unique topographical setting that is significantly higher than the nearby Oxford alluvial floodplain, which is at 60 metres above sea level. This elevation and location could influence planning considerations for any development projects in the area. The settlement has a population of approximately 124 (2021 estimate). It sits within the South Oxfordshire district.
Elsfield covers an area of approximately 1.5 km². The surrounding landscape and character of the area play an important role in how planning applications are assessed by the local authority.
