The Bloxham Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to Cherwell District Council in November 2015.

It has passed the requirements of the official central government examiner and the penultimate stage of its long journey is for Cherwell DC executive to approve putting the Plan to a referendum of village residents. The executive meeting will happen on Monday 5th Sept 2016. The meeting starts at 6:30 pm and the Bloxham item is expected to feature very early on.

You can watch the executive committee arrive at their decision online at http://cherwell.public-i.tv/core/portal/webcast_interactive/239384/start_time/0  though we can’t promise you it will be the most exciting thing you’ll have ever viewed 🙂

If approved the referendum should take place before Christmas.   The plan can offer an important extra element of protection against inappropriate development in the village.

You can see copies of the documentation in its current form here but a  final ‘tidied-up version’ will be available prior  to any referendum.

To ensure the plan carries proper weight we really will need as many residents as possible to participate in the referendum.
