Housing and Economic Needs Assessment – Cherwell District Council and Oxford City Council – Final Report (December 2022)
HENA Errata Note - June 2023
Green Belt
In addition to the Green Belt evidence published on our Local Plan evidence page, the council also commissioned consultants, LUC, to consider whether there were any exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release at The Moors, Kidlington. This work was prepared to support the Regulation 18 version of the Local Plan Review dated September 2023. However, this piece of work was never completed, though an initial draft was prepared. This document was referred to in the LUC Additional Green Belt Assessments, published in January 2023, and for reasons of transparency we are now publishing it here. This initial draft was not considered a robust piece of evidence and was not progressed further and therefore the Council has not and will not rely upon it for the preparation for the Local Plan Review.
