West Oxfordshire Local Development Framework Settlement Sustainability Report
West Oxfordshire Local Development Framework Settlement Sustainability Report - Weighting Analysis Revised November 2010 Settlement Sustainability Report - Weighting Analysis November 2010 1. Introduction 1.1 The aim of this paper is to investigate the relative sustainability of the District’s settlements. This assessment is an input to the preparation of the Core Strategy. 2. Methodology 2.1 The most up to date information collected on facilities and services in the District is collected in the West Oxfordshire Parish Survey. This was completed by Parish Clerks in July/August 2010 for their respective parishes. For the purpose of this analysis parish data is used. Occasionally, where services and facilities within settlements are referred to, such as pubs and petrol filling stations, they may be located outside of the main settlement elsewhere in the parish. With the exception of Hanborough, which includes the villages of Long Hanborough and Church Hanborough and the parish of Aston which includes the villages and hamlets of Aston, Cote, Shifford and Chimney, the parishes considered in the analysis generally contain only one main settlement which provides a focus for services and facilities. 2.2 There are a large number of towns, villages and hamlets within the District, some of which are very small and do not have any services or facilities. It was not feasible to include each one in this analysis. This analysis is based on the 42 towns and villages identified within the settlement hierarchy in the adopted Local Plan. 2.3 The facilities and services were broken down into two main components; services and facilities within the settlement and accessibility to higher order centres.
