Oxford City Council is preparing a document called the Core Strategy that will set out the pattern of development across Oxford until 2026. This means that it will, for example, identify which broad areas are suitable for housing and other strategic development needs. The Core Strategy will be a key document within Oxford's Local Development Framework (LDF).
The Core Strategy DPD was submitted to the Secretary of State on 21 Nov 2008 together with the following documents:

Issues and Options - June 2006
At the initial stage of producing the Core Strategy, the City Council consulted on the "Issues and Options" paper in June/July 2006. This gave the people of Oxford, and others, the opportunity to shape and influence the Core Strategy in its first stage of preparation. Below are the documents relating to the Issues and Options stage.
