The West End of Oxford is under-utilised and does not match Oxford's worldwide reputation, or live up to its potential as an urban quarter of the highest quality. However, the area is part of the centre of our historic City, and its renaissance is key to the overall long-term success of the City as a whole.
The renaissance of the West End is an exciting project with much potential. The vision is for the creation of a vibrant quarter of the city centre with a mix of uses and facilities, a good network of routes and connections and a distinctive sense of place.
Oxford City Council had prepared an Area Action Plan (AAP) to guide future development and change in the West End. AAPs focus on the implementation of policy in a specific area. They are an important way of ensuring development of an appropriate scale, mix and quality for key areas of opportunity.
Issues and Options for the AAP were developed with community involvement in early 2006. It was then developed into Preferred Options which were consulted on in September 2006. TThis community involvement has fed into the submission AAP.

The AAP was submitted to the Secretary of State on 15th June 2007.
The hearing sessions were held between 15th and 25th January 2008 and the Inspector (Dr Shelagh Bussey) issued her report on 28th April 2008. The AAP was found to be sound and was adopted by the City Council as Planning Policy on 30th June 2008.
The West End Area Action Plan has been adoptedFollowing receipt of the Inspector's Report which found that the West End Area Action Plan was sound (subject to the Inspector's changes being incorporated) the document has been updated and adopted by the City Council as part of the Local Development Framework. |
