Cherwell District Council has today launched a six-week consultation on the draft Cherwell Local Plan 2040.
Local Plans are really important as they provide a framework for the location, scale and nature of future development which will be permitted when planning applications are submitted.
It is vital that as many people as possible respond by 3 November. This is your opportunity to shape key policies that will determine what the future of our towns and villages look like. Click here to find out more.
The council will be hosting four consultation events including at the John Paul II Centre in Bicester on Friday 13 October and at Lock 29 in Banbury on Saturday 21 October.
I will be responding to the consultation formally in the coming weeks.
