Oxford Local Plan 2042

We have started the preparation of a new Local Plan 2042 for the city to guide where new development can go.

In accordance with the Local Development Scheme, the timeline for preparation of the plan is as follows:

The formal 'Preferred Options' (Regulation 18) consultation will take place for 6 weeks between Friday 27 June and Friday 8 August 2025
After a period of analysis, a further formal 'Submission' (Regulation 19) consultation will take place on the final draft of the plan later in 2025
It will then be submitted for public examination by the Planning Inspectorate
