A quick reminder about the West Oxfordshire District Council public consultation, which closes soon –
this is to help shape the development of the new West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2041. The consultation
runs from 26 June – 8 August 2025 and is focused on 3 particular elements:
A draft vision of West Oxfordshire in 2041: a vision of WODC’s ambitions for West Oxfordshire in
2041.
Revised objectives for the Local Plan: key priorities that WODC believe will help us make our vision
a reality.
Preferred Policy Options: WODC’s preferred policy approaches have been defined in order to
address social, environmental and economic challenges and opportunities facing the district. The
policies are categorised under the following four themes:
• Core policies
• Place based policies
• Settlement strategies
• Development Management policies
This is not yet a draft Local Plan, and no new development sites are being proposed at this stage.
Instead, WODC is asking for feedback on the proposed direction of the plan and the policy
suggestions that will underpin the Draft Local Plan. A separate consultation focused on development
site options will follow later in the year.
Hard copies of the consultation material are available at Council Offices and all district libraries.
To complement the digital consultation, WODC will also be running a number of ‘in-person’
consultation events, details of which will be published in due course..
