West Oxfordshire District Council is consulting on the future development of land at east Witney which is allocated in the adopted West Oxfordshire Local Plan for the provision of around 450 new homes.

The Council is preparing a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to address issues such as the layout and form of development, the type and mix of new homes needed and the provision of supporting infrastructure such as transport and open space.

As a first step in the process, the Council has prepared an ‘issues paper’ which highlights a number of potential opportunities for the site to help stimulate early debate about how the site should be brought forward.

The issues paper is the subject of a 6-week period of public consultation from 5 June until 17 July 2019.

The issues paper can be viewed online at www.westoxon.gov.uk/spd with hard copies available to view at the following locations.
