Local Plan 2040: Protecting and enhancing heritage
Oxford is a world-renowned city with a rich and diverse built heritage, including colleges, museums and an iconic skyline.
The new Local Plan 2040 continues to encourage new, high-quality buildings within Oxford’s world-famous conservation areas – but only if these buildings respect and draw from the city’s heritage.
Similarly, Oxford’s skyline will continue to be protected, but the Local Plan 2040 does allow for new higher buildings - if they are in the right location and make a positive contribution to design.
