Two weeks left to comment on plan for district’s future
11/02/2025
When approved the new Local Plan will guide development up to 2042
There’s just two weeks left to have your say on the proposed new Local Plan for our area.
If agreed this is the document which will direct new housing and infrastructure to the most sustainable locations in the years up to 2042.
The formal consultation closes on Tuesday, February 25.
Once Cherwell District Council has considered all the representations made in the consultation and at public events the finalised document will be sent to a government-appointed Planning Inspector for independent examination, before it becomes an official document.
Councillor Jean Conway, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Development Management, said: “A tremendous amount of work goes into getting a new local plan to this stage, and we are extremely grateful to everyone who has helped shape it so far, both in this and the previous three consultations.
“The Local Plan is a crucial tool to protect our natural landscapes and heritage, promote biodiversity, and further our climate aspirations. At the same time, a plan-led system uses the latest evidence about the housing and employment our residents need. It allows us to accommodate these needs in the most sustainable way.”
People can take part in the consultation here.
