The Head of Planning, Sustainable Development and Regulatory Services had submitted a report to approve the updated programme for the preparation of documents that will form the City Council’s Local Plan.

Councillor Hollingsworth introduced the report. He drew particular attention to paragraph 5 of the report which set out the revised timetable for production of the Oxford Local Plan which was intended to give sufficient time for it to take account of the Government’s revised National Planning Policy Framework, publication of which was expected in July.

The City Executive Board resolved to:

Approve the Oxford Local Development Scheme 2018-21.
