We are currently working to prepare the Cherwell Local Plan and a number of additional supporting guidance on particular issues and places. New legislation - the Localism Act (2011) - and regulations enable councils to reintroduce the term 'Local Plan' and have changed some of the plan-making procedures. The Cherwell Local Plan was previously called the Core Strategy.
