* Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan
Much more housing is going to be built in Cherwell over the next few years, and with it will come the impact of increased traffic and other travel issues, and a need for more community facilities of all kinds.
Our parish council is participating in the development of a new community-based Neighbourhood Plan for the Mid-Cherwell area. This initiative could play an important role in shaping the future of our local villages by determining, with statutory force, what development might be welcome and what might not be.
We’re pleased to inform you that the Review of the Mid-Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan has now been published, and we would welcome your comments and feedback on it. The Consultation remains open until Friday, 23rd May 2025. Please click here to go to the consultation website.
The updated Plan includes several important new planning policies, including the allocation of housing sites in some of the villages, aimed at meeting the needs of local people. There are also policies protecting the Mid-Cherwell environment, its landscape and biodiversity, and we’ve added more Local Green Spaces and more Local Gaps for protection from possible future development.
We want to know what you think about the new Plan: we have tried to make it as easy as possible for you to respond with our online questionnaire. If you prefer to use email or post to respond, a downloadable form is available on the website.
We have also printed a limited number of copies of the Plan document – your Parish Clerk has copies of these if you would like to see one. Copies will also be available at Deddington, Bicester and Banbury Libraries.
