In accordance with Regulation 6 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, the proposed boundary is now advertised for comments as to whether there is any reason why Cherwell District Council should not make the designation.

The application is the first formal step in the preparation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan for Bletchingdon, Hampton Gay and Poyle, and seeks designation of the combined parish boundaries as the Neighbourhood Area.
A Neighbourhood Development Plan is a community-led framework for guiding the future development, regeneration and conservation of an area. In preparing the Plan, the Parish Council will be required to undertake community and stakeholder consultation.
The Plan must comply with European and national legislation and must have appropriate regard to national policy and be in general conformity with existing strategic local planning policy.
The Plan will also be subject to an independent examination and a referendum. Upon completion, the Neighbourhood Development Plan will become part of the statutory development plan for the area.
