Overview

We are preparing a new Local Plan to meet Cherwell's needs, protect its environment and secure sustainable development.

The consultation draft of the Cherwell Local Plan 2040 has been prepared to prompt discussion and feedback on new planning policies to guide the delivery of sustainable development across the district.

We are inviting comments on an emerging set of policies and development proposals to help us consider:

  • What is welcome/unwelcome and why?
  • Have we missed anything?
  • Could the plan be improved?
  • Does the draft Plan meet Cherwell's needs?

The draft Plan is supported by technical evidence made available alongside this consultation. More will follow the consultation as we consider all the comments received.
