The draft Housing Strategy has been approved by councillors for public consultation. Once the feedback has been analysed the Housing Strategy for Oxford 2012 - 2015 will be approved for publication. The strategy outlines the housing priorities for Oxford over the next 3 years and beyond and sets out the challenges faced by the City Council in meeting these.

Oxford City Council's Leisure and Parks service have recently drafted two strategies: 1. Draft Green Spaces Strategy (2012 - 2026) 2. Draft Playing Pitch & Outdoor Sports Strategy (2012 - 2026) We would like to consult with you to take into account any comments or feedback you may have. A full version of each of the draft strategies is available along with a short summary. All comments, feedback and suggestions will be reviewed and amendments/updates will be made to the strategies where applicable. Please ensure that you clearly mark the strategy you are commenting on within your correspondence.

Consultation for the Sites and Housing DPD Proposed Submission Document. This document builds on the previous consultation - the Preferred Options and presents Oxford City Council's proposed policies for residential developments in Oxford, including Student Accommodation, HMOs, Design, Low Carbon Homes, and Affordable Housing. It also includes proposed Site Allocation policies for development sites across the City.

The Proposed Submission document sets out draft planning policies. The earlier rounds of consultation helped us to identify the issues. This stage of consultation is different; we are now asking whether the AAP is considered to be sound. To be 'sound' (as defined in National Planning Policy) a plan must be 'justified', 'effective' and consistent with national policy. We are also consulting on the Barton AAP: Sustainability Appraisal, please use the response form provided.
