South Oxfordshire Submission Core Strategy

We submitted the core strategy to the Secretary of State for independent examination on 18 March 2011.  The submission documents include the core strategy, all representations received as part of the publication period, Sustainability Appraisal, Appropriate Assessment, Consultation reports, Infrastructure Delivery Plan and our evidence base.

Accessing the documents

Following representations made on the Proposed Submission Core Strategy during the 3 December 2010 to 21 January 2011 publication period, we have made a series of minor changes and corrections to the Core Strategy.  We have not made any major changes.  You can view these in our schedule of minor changes, which should be read in conjunction with the main documents. Alternatively you can view the strike-through version of the Core Strategy, which incorporates the minor changes.
