The South Oxfordshire Local Plan was adopted in December 2020. It established a minimum level of growth that needed to be provided in Thame through a second neighbourhood plan. Work started on this in 2021 and a draft has now been prepared for public consultation.
The new draft of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan is based around the successful vision and objectives of the original neighbourhood plan. It contains policies for how development should happen within Thame, such as the revised vision for the future of the Cattle Market site, above. It also includes projects to improve the lives of residents. It has been written with the benefit of evidence focused on Thame’s needs and the 1,400 sets of comments already made by residents, businesses and organisations.
Public consultation on the revised Thame Neighbourhood Plan starts on 12 June. There will be a series of drop-in events and briefings that will start in July.
