Garsington Neighbourhood Plan

Garsington Parish Council is working on creating a neighbourhood plan to influence the way their area grows and develops into the future.

What’s happening now?

The independent examination of the plan has now concluded. Take a look at the examiner’s report. The district council has now considered each of the examiner’s recommendations, and decided that subject to modifications the plan meets the basic conditions and should proceed to a referendum.
