Most of the things in the agreed Local Plan for the Vale could be overridden by a new Oxfordshire plan released this week.

As you may remember, the six Oxfordshire Councils and the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OXLEP) agreed a £215m funding package (the Oxfordshire Housing and Growth Deal) with Government in March 2018.

As part of this deal, the Oxfordshire authorities have agreed to produce a plan for the whole of the county, which will guide development in the area up to the year 2050.

The first consultation, introducing the Oxfordshire Plan 2050, commences on 11 February 2019 and will run for a 6 week period until 25 March 2019.

There will be a bus roadshow at the Beacon in Wantage on Tuesday 19 February from 9.00am - 11.30am. Don’t miss it!

For more details and how to comment go to our Oxfordshire Plan 2050 page (www.wantageandgrove.org/oxfordshire_plan2050.php).

Thanks for reading.
