Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan

Chinnor Parish Council is working on reviewing their Neighbourhood Plan to influence the way their area grows and develops into the future.

What’s happening now?

Chinnor Parish Council has submitted a reviewed Neighbourhood Plan to South Oxfordshire District Council. If adopted, the reviewed plan will replace the Chinnor Neighbourhood Development Plan Review adopted on 20 May 2021.

We are carrying out a consultation on the reviewed Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents, which runs from Wednesday 13 September to 10am on Thursday 26 October.

You can view the Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents below:

Paper copies of the plan are available to view at Chinnor Parish Council’s offices, at Chinnor Community Pavilion on Station Road, OX39 4PU, from Monday to Thursday between 9am and 1pm, or at the Chinnor Library on Station Road, OX39 4PU during its opening hours.

The documents can also be viewed by appointment at the district council’s office at Abbey House, Abbey Close, Abingdon, OX14 3JE on Monday to Thursday 8.30am – 5pm and Friday 8.30am – 4pm. Please email or call us to make an appointment.

The consultation documents can also be made available to view in an alternative format (for example large print, braille, audio, email, Easy Read and alternative languages) on request.

Please contact us on 01235 422600 or email [email protected] if you need help accessing the consultation materials or have any queries about this consultation.

If you know anyone you think would be interested in this consultation who does not have access to the internet, we would appreciate your help in telling them about it. Please ask them to get in touch with us via our contact details provided above.

Next steps

After the publicity period ends, your comments, name, email (if applicable) and postal address will be sent to an independent examiner to consider. The opportunity for further comments at this stage would only be at the specific request of the examiner.

Most Neighbourhood Plans are examined without the need for a public hearing. If you think the Neighbourhood Plan requires a public hearing, you can state this in your comments, but the examiner will make the final decision.

Please clearly state in your comments if you wish to be notified of our decision on whether we formally adopt the Neighbourhood Plan.

All personal data will be held securely by the council and examiner in line with the Data Protection Act 2018. Comments submitted by individuals will be published on our website alongside their name. No other contact details will be published. Comments submitted by businesses or organisations will be published in full, including contact details.
