Are we heading in the right direction for West Oxfordshire's future?
West Oxfordshire District Council has launched a major consultation on the Preferred Policy Options for its new Local Plan 2041.
The Local Plan will shape how the district develops in the years ahead. This stage of consultation sets out the Council’s proposed vision, updated objectives and preferred policy options on issues including:
- Genuinely affordable housing
- Net zero and energy-efficient building standards
- Nature recovery and biodiversity
- Sustainable transport and digital access
- Infrastructure, schools and health provision
- Local jobs, town centres and green industries
And much more.
The consultation does not include proposed site allocations. That will be the focus of a further consultation later in 2025.
Residents, community groups, businesses and stakeholders are encouraged to get involved and have their say before 8 August.
