Cllr Warwick Robinson, Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Housing, said: “It is important that we have residents’ views on the proposals as the draft Local Plan will form the basis of how West Oxfordshire will develop up until 2029. This is a key stage of the process and all feedback will be considered to help us to move forward with a finalised plan.”
