Oxford City Council has opened consultation on an application for redesignation of the Headington Neighbourhood Forum.
Neighbourhood forums give people a direct say in the development of their area through the creation of neighbourhood plans.
A neighbourhood plan sets out policies to shape development and use of land in an area. If it is approved by a local referendum, it must be considered by the local authority when making planning decisions.
The Headington Neighbourhood Forum Area has an existing adopted neighbourhood plan.
The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 requires neighbourhood forums to reapply for designation every five years.
The consultation relates to the area covered by the Headington Neighbourhood Forum, which is unchanged from its last designation.
The consultation is open on the Council’s website and closes at 23:59 on Wednesday 20 November.
Comment
“Neighbourhood forums are an important way for local people to have their say on the future of their area. I’d encourage anyone with an interest in Headington to take part in the consultation and help shape its development.”
Councillor Louise Upton, Cabinet Member for Planning
