Cherwell District Council: Planning Policy Consultancy Support

Tender description

<p>Cherwell District Council adopted their Local Plan (2011 &ndash; 2031) in July 2015 and the Partial Review that addresses unmet housing need for Oxford, in September 2020. The Council are now preparing a Local Plan Review to ensure key planning policies are kept up to date, to assist with the implementation of the Oxfordshire Plan 2050, to replace the 2015 adopted Local Plan and the remaining saved policies of the 1996 Local Plan. The next stage of preparing the Local Plan Review will involve publishing a Draft Plan (Regulation 18) document for consultation in the summer of 2022. This is a key stage in the plan making process and it is important it is sufficiently robust and fit-for-purpose. Consultancy support is sought to ensure timely, efficient and effective plan preparation in accordance with the Council&rsquo;s published timetable (Local Development Scheme September 2021).</p> Keywords: Support, Local Plan Review, Consultancy
