Consultation on ideas for the next local plan
30/09/2021
Councillor Colin Clarke: “Our policies for climate change, housing, town centres, infrastructure and much more will all be crystallised in our new Local Plan”
The big issues and choices that will shape north Oxfordshire for years to come have been sketched out in a key document, ready for us to have our say in a consultation which is now underway.
Cherwell District Council are researching views and ideas to feed into work that is currently underway to create a new Local Plan. When this is adopted, it will guide the decisions on development in our area up to 2040.
The consultation seeks our views on the Council’s draft vision for the future, proposed options for new planning policies, and local profiles for Banbury and the surrounding villages, together with other parts of the district.
The final version of the local plan will aim to address needs and opportunities for the future. It will set a base for conserving and enhancing the environment and mitigating and adapting to climate change, as well as supporting well designed and healthy places.
Councillor Colin Clarke, Lead Member for Planning, said: “Our policies for climate change, housing, town centres, infrastructure and much more will all be crystallised in our new Local Plan. It is early days in the process of writing the plan, so we are asking residents to have their say on a suggested vision for it.”
The community involvement options paper is open for comments now. You can join in here until November 10th.
