Oxfordshire County Council Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Part 2 – Site Allocations
Issues and Options Consultation – Deadline 4pm Wednesday 3rd October 2018
Oxfordshire County Council is now consulting on Issues and Options for the Oxfordshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Part 2 – Site Allocations (the Sites Plan). The main purpose of the Sites Plan is to allocate the sites required to provide the additional capacity for minerals supply and waste management as set out within the Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Part 1 – Core Strategy.
Preparation of the Sites Plan follows the adoption of the Core Strategy on 12th September 2017. The Core Strategy sets out the vision, objectives, spatial planning strategy and policies for meeting development requirements for the supply of minerals and the management of waste in Oxfordshire over the period to 2031.
The Issues and Options consultation invites views on:
- What the Sites Plan should cover?
- What issues the Plan should address?
- What options should be considered? In particular, which sites should be considered for allocation for minerals and waste development?
- What information will assist in the assessment of these options?
This Issues and Options consultation is the first key stage in the preparation of the Sites Plan and is the first formal stage of consultation. At this stage in the plan preparation process, no decisions have been made as to whether sites should or should not be allocated in the plan or on any other policy matters. The Council aims to adopt the Sites Plan in November 2020.
