06/02/12…..Chance for final say in the future development of Thame
ANYONE with an interest in South Oxfordshire?s Core Strategy, the document that will determine future development in Thame and the rest of South Oxfordshire, has an opportunity to have a final say.
In January, the inspector appointed to examine the strategy published his conclusions on changes he considers should be made to the strategy. He has also published revised conclusions on Thame. These can both be viewed at http://www.southoxon.gov.uk/news/2012/2012-02/core-strategy-changes-advertised-3-february-16-march-2012
SODC has now produced a list of the main proposed changes. This is being advertised for comment from February 3 to March 16, 2012, on the council?s website. Copies are also available to view at South Oxfordshire District Council’s offices, libraries and one-stop shops (Thame town hall) to enable local residents and other interested parties to have their say.
Some of the key changes now being advertised are:
The deferral of the strategic allocation at Thame to the Neighbourhood Plan
The exclusion of a Green Belt review at Wheatley
The acceptance of a housing allocation cap at Henley of 400 new homes, but with a suggestion that this cap could be eased by up to 50 homes if detailed work shows that this can be identified
The changing of the site for the housing allocation in Wallingford from Site B (west of the town) to Site E (south of the town)
