Warborough and Shillingford Neighbourhood Plan

The Warborough and Shillingford Neighbourhood Plan became part of the Development Plan on 4 October 2018 and carries full weight in the determination of planning applications. On 11 October 2018 it was agreed to be made and that it should continue to be part of the development plan.

The parish council are undertaking a review of the Neighbourhood Plan.

What’s happening now?

Warborough and Shillingford Parish Council is working on a neighbourhood plan review which has recently been submitted to South Oxfordshire District Council. If adopted, the reviewed plan will replace the Warborough and Shillingford Neighbourhood Plan adopted on 20 December 2018. 

The publicity period on the submitted neighbourhood plan review concluded on Wednesday 11 June 2025. The draft plan documents and comments received during the publicity period have now been submitted for independent examination.

Andrew Ashcroft has been appointed to carry out the independent examination of the Warborough & Shillingford NDP Review. The examiner’s role is to make recommendations on the Draft Plan Review. Take a look at the Examiner’s Process Note, setting out his findings on the significance of the proposed modifications in the Plan Review.
