New local plan for Oxford – please send in your views!

Oxford City Council is taking its first steps towards producing a new Local Plan for Oxford. The Oxford Local Plan 2036 will become the main planning policy document for Oxford. The Local Plan is important because it will shape how Oxford develops. It will set out how the city will look and feel,  and guide new developments to the right locations whilst protecting and improving the environment and people’s quality of life.
This First Steps consultation offers the chance to give your opinion on the issues you think the Local Plan should address, and the ways it might address those issues.

Please click on the website www.oxford.gov.uk/localplan to see background papers on key issues, a sustainability appraisal scoping report and a consultation booklet that poses some questions.

You can also get a booklet and have the opportunity to raise questions with a planning policy officer at tomorrow’s Ward Focus Meeting

Tuesday 28 June

Headington Prep School main hall, London Road

6:00-7:30pm

 

We have asked an officer to come to the ward focus meeting so that Headington residents get the chance to learn more about the Local Plan and give their comments in the local area (community events at which the officers will engage with the public are in other parts of the City)

What sort of city do you want Oxford to be by 2036?

At next Tuesday’s Ward Focus meeting, Richard Wyatt from the City Council will be asking our residents important questions about Oxford’s future, including:

  • what sort of homes should be provided?
  • are more student halls of residence needed? More homes for older people? More affordable homes for key workers?
  • should blocks of housing be taller in order to provide a greater density of accommodation in some places?

Also at next week’s meeting, Rob Fowler from the Planning Department will come along to answer questions on the planning process relating to the latest energy pipe application, provided that application has been validated in time.

We shall also tackle hot topics like how to get parking permits, and whether Windmill Road should have a 20 MPH limit.
