Draft Core Strategy
The deadline for responses to Cherwell District Council's Draft Core Strategy has now passed. Thank you to all who registered their opinions. It should be possible to view all the submitted comments on Cherwell’s website within four weeks.

The District Council will now have to consider their plan in the light of public responses and the next stage is to publish the final Core Strategy in the autumn of 2010.
