Playing Pitch and Leisure Facilities Strategies Consultation

Please note, this consultation period has been extended by an additional week and will now close at 11:59pm on Wednesday 24 April.

South Oxfordshire District Council is inviting your comments on a Playing Pitch Strategy and a Leisure Facilities Assessment and Strategy.

These strategies show the need for new playing pitches and leisure facilities across South Oxfordshire, as well as identifying which of our existing pitches and facilities need protecting, upgrading, or expanding. They take account of new and planned housing developments in our districts, and consider the need for new pitch and leisure provision between 2023 and 2041.
