Sustainability Appraisal

Sustainability is a way of measuring the social, economic and environmental impact of any kind of building development. Our Sustainability Appraisal sets out the situation in South Oxfordshire and makes sure we take these issues into consideration for all of the development that happens in our district. All of our other planning policy documents are based on the information in the Sustainability Appraisal.
