The Oxfordshire Plan 2050
The Plan is part of the £215m Housing & Growth Deal agreed by the Oxfordshire Growth Board with the Government, and is being formed by all Oxfordshire’s authorities' (Cherwell District Council, Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council, South Oxfordshire District Council, Vale of White Horse District Council and West Oxfordshire District Council).
"The Plan will not allocate sites for housing or employment. Instead, it will identify key areas for sustainable growth with associated housing/employment numbers, while considering how to help tackle climate change, improve water efficiency and mitigate flood risk. Districts will then use this to produce future Local Plans which will provide a detailed view of how housing and infrastructure will be delivered, and how they will address the climate emergency."
A three-part consultation on the Plan, which ended on 12 April 2019, followed approval given by all the six councils to the draft document after a series of meetings over several weeks. The document was also subject to recommendations from the Oxfordshire Growth Board Scrutiny Panel.
