Oxfordshire councils reject planning inspectors' push to scrap their joint local plan, calling the review flawed and outdated.
Oxfordshire councils including South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse have rejected Planning Inspectors’ recommendation to withdraw their joint local plan, calling the critique flawed and based on outdated information.
The inspectors cited poor cooperation with Oxford City Council on the "duty to co-operate," but the councils argue the assessment relied on obsolete policy, misinterpreted legislation, and incorrectly used Oxford’s withdrawn 2040 Local Plan.
They point to 6,780 homes already included in their plan, evidence showing Oxford’s housing need is met, and alignment with the Oxfordshire Strategic Vision.
Councils say final decisions will be made at full council meetings, likely in December.
