NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK
The new policy document had been circulated, and it was understood that the implications would not be
effective until March 2013 if the district council was unsuccessful in getting a new local plan in place.
Committee members would be pleased to attend any training courses that were provided.
It was thought that a neighbourhood plan would be advantageous but understood that Cherwell District
Council were not supporting such plans until the core strategy document was in place - consultation on
which was imminent.

4 The Rookery, Kidlington, Oxfordshire, OX5 1AW
The Parish Council is concerned that there has been no local consultation in regard to this substantial
development & feel that the proposal does not contribute to the local community. The Council objects
to this proposal on the grounds that the developer is not providing any affordable housing even
though the size of the site (1.3acres) would have been expected to deliver a higher density
development that would be over the threshold (15) to allow for affordable housing. The Council also
objects that the developer states there should be no provision for a contribution towards local sport &
play facilities.
