Following on from a successful referendum, Oxford City Council is now required to adopt, or 'make' the Headington Neighbourhood Plan.

The Head of Planning and Regulatory submitted a report to consider the Examiner’s Report, approve modifications to the Headington Neighbourhood Plan and agree that the Headington Neighbourhood Plan is submitted to a referendum.

Councillor Hollingsworth, Board Member for Planning and Regulatory Services presented the report. He thanked officers and members of the Headington Neighbourhood Forum for their work on the Headington Neighbourhood Plan.

The City Executive Board resolved to:

1.            Approve the Modifications to Policies in the Headington Neighbourhood Plan as recommended by the Examiner’s Report (January 2017).

2.            Approve the factual modifications that have been made for the purpose of correcting errors and approve the factual modifications relating to textual changes in the introductory chapters or in terms of the justification for the policies in the Headington Neighbourhood Plan.

3.            Agree that the Headington Neighbourhood Plan (as modified in the form at Appendix 3) is submitted to a referendum.
