Smarter Planning Champion
Oxford City Council is now a 'Smarter Planning Champion'.
Smarter Planning is a Planning Portal initiative to encourage professionals and local planning authorities to fully realise all the benefits of online working.
We have been given this status because we are committed to delivering a smarter and faster planning process; by communicating and working electronically.
QR Codes on Site Notices
Please note, we are now putting QR codes on site notices to give smart phone and tablet users easy access to planning application details on the go.
We have two politically balanced area planning committees (West Area and East Area), each consisting of nine councillors, to decide planning applications at monthly meetings.
We also have a Planning Review Committee that reaches decisions on planning applications that have been considered by one of the two area planning committees but where the area planning committee's decision has subsequently been called into this committee by a minimum of 12 councillors.

Help with planning and building control matters
Our planning and building control teams are happy to offer advice but you may find it helpful to look at the following websites:
Planning Portal - Use this site to learn about planning and building regulations, find out about development near you, appeal against a decision and research government policy.
Planning Aid - Planning Aid provides free, independent and professional town planning advice and support to communities and individuals who cannot afford to pay planning consultant fees. It complements the work of local planning authorities, but is wholly independent of them.
