Future Oxfordshire Partnership

The growing local economy will create challenges and opportunities for Oxfordshire related to housing, infrastructure, public services and the environment. These issues will best be addressed through joined up planning between local councils which prioritises sustainable development and quality of life. Collective planning where it makes sense to do so will be the most effective means of minimising the unwanted impacts of a growing economy, whilst leveraging the maximum benefit from the opportunities it brings for our existing and future communities. The Future Oxfordshire Partnership will: a) Coordinate local efforts to manage economic, housing and infrastructure development in a way that is inclusive and maximises local social and environmental benefits; b) Support the development of local planning policy that moves towards zero carbon and carbon positive development, and contributes to biodiversity gain, embracing the changes needed for a low carbon world; and, c) Coordinate local efforts to secure funding in the pursuit of these aims.
