GARAGES which are a hot spot for ‘anti-social behaviour’ could be knocked down and replaced with homes if Oxford City Council give plans the go-ahead.
Planners say the row of garages at the back of Howard Street, off Iffley Road, are a 'dumping ground’ and leave the landlord ‘constantly dealing with fly tipping and anti-social behaviour’.

They say there is ‘little alternative’ but to knock 15 of the 17 brick garages down and replace them with three homes.
If plans go ahead, then one two-bedroom house will be built and two one-bed homes.
