Archived Local Plans

Our previous Local Plan is known as the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027. We also use policies saved from our old Local Plan 2011.

We adopted the previous Local Plan in December 2012 following examination by a government planning inspector. You can view a copy of the 2012 inspector’s report here.

Alongside the Core Strategy, we previously used a number of policies that were saved from the Local Plan 2011. We also updated one paragraph from the Local Plan 2011, which you can download below.
