The Core Strategy

We are preparing a strategy for South Oxfordshire as part of our work on the Local Development Framework to 2026 and we need you to help us make the best decisions.

The main purpose of the strategy is to identify issues and directions of growth for new development up to the year 2026. The council will make all its major decisions – for example, broad locations of major new housing or employment developments, through the process of preparing this strategy.

What stage are we at?

We have already done a lot of work on developing our core strategy. This has included:

compiling our evidence base
pulling together relevant statistics, holding workshops and discussions with stakeholders and
consulting widely on issues and options

The next stage is to produce our preferred options document. This is where we present our preferred strategy for the district and explain which options we have rejected.
