Your Place, Your Plan - Ideas and Objectives consultation

What is the purpose of this consultation – what are we looking to find out?

Developing a new Local Plan should be a genuinely iterative and engaging process. The Council wants to avoid a situation whereby local communities and key stakeholders are presented with a series of worked-up policies and proposals late in the day, with little or no chance to influence them.

That is why we ran the initial 'Your Voice Counts' consultation last year and why we are now looking to move the conversation on and start thinking about the shape of the new Local Plan and the policies and proposals it should include.

To do this, we are looking for responses on three specific areas:

• Draft local plan objectives;
• The future pattern of development in West Oxfordshire; and
• Call for sites, ideas and opportunities.
