REGIONAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK
It's an
exciting time in the
planning world for the district, county
and region.
First,
the Draft South East
Plan proposes a strategic regional
planning framework for the period 2006
to
2026 which details how the region
should be managed over the next 2
decades. It
is a large document but of interest to
all who have a vested interest in the
region - take a look at
www.southeast-
ra.pov.uk/southeastplan.
Secondly, the
Oxfordshire Structure Plan looks out to
2016 and provides a policy framework
for
the development and use of land in the
county - Witney and Carterton are
singled
out as areas for development. This
document can be found at
ww
w.oxfordshires.gov.uk (type
`structure plan' into their search
window to find the appropriate
pages).
Finally, for those interested
in local planning and design, the West
Oxfordshire Design Guide is available at
www.westoxon.gov.uk/planning/DesignGuide
.cfm this is perhaps of more
direct
interest to parish residents and there
is some interesting detail on Alvescot
and surrounding countryside/villages
