Wallingford Neighbourhood Plan

The Wallingford Neighbourhood Plan was made (adopted) as part of the district council’s development plan on 20 May 2021.

What’s happening now?

Wallingford Town Council is working on a neighbourhood plan review which has recently been submitted to South Oxfordshire District Council.

We are carrying out a consultation on the submitted neighbourhood plan review and supporting documents which runs from Thursday, 13 June to Thursday, 25 July 2024.

You can view the neighbourhood plan review and supporting documents below:

Paper copies of the plan are available to view at Wallingford Library, 51 High Street, Wallingford OX10 0DB. The opening times can be found here.

Next steps

After the publicity period ends, your comments, name, email (if applicable) and postal address will be sent to an independent examiner to consider. The opportunity for further comments at this stage would only be at the specific request of the examiner.

Most neighbourhood plans are examined without the need for a public hearing. If you think the neighbourhood plan requires a public hearing, you can state this in your comments, but the examiner will make the final decision.

Please clearly state in your comments if you wish to be notified of our decision on whether we formally adopt the neighbourhood plan.

All personal data will be held securely by the council and examiner in line with the Data Protection Act 2018. Comments submitted by individuals will be published on our website alongside their name. No other contact details will be published. Comments submitted by businesses or organisations will be published in full, including contact details. Further information on how we store personal data is provided in our privacy statement.
