STATEMENT OF REPRESENTATIONS PROCEDURE UNDER THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (LOCAL PLANNING) (ENGLAND) REGULATIONS 2012 (REGULATIONS 19 AND 35)

Subject matter and area covered South Oxfordshire District Council is developing a new Local Plan. The South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2033, together with its supporting studies, sets out our vision for South Oxfordshire up to the year 2033. The documents identify where housing, retail and employment land should be located as well as the infrastructure required to support this growth, such as new roads, schools, health services and sewerage.

Periods for representations The publication version of the plan, along with the supporting documents, are subject to a six-week publicity period from Wednesday 11 October until 5pm on Thursday 30 November 2017. Late responses cannot be accepted, nor can extensions be granted. Details for representations The plan, supporting documents and evidence papers are available to view and download at southoxon.gov.uk/newlocalplan.

Sharing your personal details Please be aware that, due to the process of having an Independent Examination, a name and means of contact is required for your representation to be considered. Respondent details and representations will be forwarded to the Inspector carrying out the examination of the Local Plan after the Publicity Period has ended. This data will be managed by a Programme Officer who acts as the point of contact between the council and the Inspector and respondents and the Inspector.

Representations cannot be treated as confidential and will be published on our website alongside your name. If you are responding as an individual rather than a company or organisation, we will not publish your contact details (email / postal address and telephone numbers) or signatures online, however the original representations are available for public viewing at our council office by prior appointment. All representations and related documents will be held by South Oxfordshire District Council for a period of 6 months after the Local Plan is adopted.
