Following consultation and gathering of evidence, the Vale of White Horse District Council are nearly ready to submit their Local Plan 2031 Part 2 for independent examination. The Local Plan 2031 Part 2 sets out policies and locations for housing for the Vale of White Horse district’s proportion of Oxford’s housing need up to 2031, which cannot be met within the City boundaries. The document also contains policies for the part of the Didcot Garden Town that lies within the Vale and detailed development management policies to complement Local Plan 2031 Part 1. It replaces the saved policies of the Local Plan 2011 and allocates additional development sites for housing. Before the Vale submit their Plan, they are carrying out a six-week publicity period, which will run from today until 5pm on Wednesday 22 November 2017. The publicity period is different from the previous consultation, as the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) Regulations 2012 dictate that they ask specific questions relating to the soundness and legality of the Plan. After the publicity period, they will submit the Plan to the Secretary of State, who will appoint a Planning Inspector to carry out an independent examination. The inspector will then examine the Plan, the evidence supporting it and the comments received, and make a decision on whether the Plan is “sound” and “legally compliant”. The Vale will also be hosting public events across the district to help explain the publicity process and how to comment. The events will all provide the same information so please feel free to attend any event.
