Oxford Local Plan 2042 Regulation 18 (Preferred Options) Consultation: Shorter Questions

We don't have space to meet our full need in the city, certainly not without compromising other needs like open space. But we must still try to deliver as much housing need as possible. Our policies prioritise housing and we have worked hard to identify sites- contacting landowners, running a call for sites and carrying out desk-based exercises. We are also looking at the Green Belt.  

We have identified sites that we are investigating to allocate for development. Nearly all of these are on previously developed land. We will continue to talk to landowners and assess impacts for example in terms of access, heritage and green infrastructure.  We would welcome comments on the main consultation on key things to consider as we go on to draft the detailed site allocation policies.
