You may be aware that land to the north of the A40 near Eynsham is allocated in the emerging Local Plan for a new ‘garden village’ of around 2,200 homes together with business land and other supporting facilities.
The details of the proposal will be taken forward through a new ‘Area Action Plan’ (AAP) which will establish an overall vision for the new garden village together with a series of guiding principles and policies.
As a first step in the AAP process the Council has produced an ‘issues paper’ which is available for comment from Friday 22 June until Friday 3 August 2018.
Copies of the consultation paper and standard response form are available on the Council’s website at www.westoxon.gov.uk/gardenvillage
They are also available at the following locations. For library opening times please contact the library direct or check on www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/public-site/find-library
