Advertising Neighbourhood Area and Forum Redesignation – Headington

Overview

The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 requires Neighbourhood Forums to reapply every five years. The Headington Neighbourhood Forum has submitted an application to Oxford City Council asking to be redesignated as a Neighbourhood Forum.

We are inviting comments on this application to be made within this consultation window. The Neighbourhood Forum area remains the same as when it was originally designated.

Why your views matter

Neighbourhood forums give people a direct say in the development of their area through the creation of neighbourhood plans. The consultation is an opportunity to express support or express any concerns with the proposed area or makeup of the forum.

The responses received to the consultation from the public will inform officers recommendations to Cabinet who will make the decision whether or not to redesignate the Forum and Neighbourhood Area.

What happens next

A consultation statement comprising of a summary of responses will be produced on published on the Council’s webpages.  The findings will be reported to Cabinet to take a decision on whether to redesignate the neighbourhood area.
