The short answer is NO.

Nothing would have delighted the Headington Neighbourhood Forum more than to have included Stansfeld in a forthcoming neighbourhood plan, but there are criteria governing what is included or excluded within a proposed neighbourhood area boundary.

Land within a parished area cannot be included within the Headington Neighbourhood Area.  Stansfeld falls within the Risinghurst and Sandhills Parish Council area boundaries.

Stansfeld could be included within a Risinghurst and Sandhills Parish neighbourhood area, if the parish decides to develop one, and this might potentially safeguard its future in terms of what the land could be used for. County Cllr Roz Smith has been pushing for this to happen. But Stansfeld cannot fall within the Headington Neighbourhood Area.

This information has been checked with Oxford City Council today and is entirely consistent with policy guidance given previously.
