It makes provision through the 'transitional arrangements' for the consultation already undertaken at previous stages of the Core Strategy to act as a proxy for the consultation requirements of the new regulations.We consulted on the Proposed Submission in Sept/Oct 2008. Comments received have been logged and have fed into the production of the Submission document and Examination in Spring 2009.

Earlier stages of the Core Strategy
Issues and Options - June 2006
At the initial stage of producing the Core Strategy, the City Council consulted on the "Issues and Options" paper in June/July 2006. This gave the people of Oxford, and others, the opportunity to shape and influence the Core Strategy in its first stage of preparation. Below are the documents relating to the Issues and Options stage.
Issues and Options paper Issues and Options - Report on public consultation
Preferred Options - March 2007
After the Issues and Options, we produced the Preferred Options paper on which we undertook a 6 week consultation. This paper and the results of the public consultation can be viewed below:

After the Preferred Options, it was necessary to consult upon a second round of Preferred Options in order to reflect a change in circumstances arising from the publication of the South East Plan Panel Report in Aug 2007. This new document will be known as the Further Preferred Options and is available to download below.
