Developments, Odds & Ends

Protect Rural Oxfordshire (PRO)

Did you know that current plans for the county include:

  • 80,000 new jobs,
  • 90,000 more residents
  • 100,000 more houses

– all within the next 17 years? This proposed growth in housing is the equivalent of every town and village increasing in size by 40%.

The Oxfordshire Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England is concerned about how the speed and scale of this development could cause irretrievable damage to our landscape and local communities, and the impact it will have on already over-stretched services and infrastructure particularly in rural areas.

It has launched a campaign – Protect Rural Oxfordshire (PRO) – to fight for a more sustainable vision for the future of the county.
