Sibford Gower Parish Council Extraordinary Meeting – Tuesday, 19th October at 7.15pm in Sibford Village Hall
The main item for this meeting will be to address issues contained in the latest stage of the CDC Local plan review 2040. The Community Involvement Paper 2: Developing our Options can now be accessed at www.cherwell.gov.uk/planningpolicyconsultation
Although quite a lengthy document, it is important to our local community as it seeks to focus on developing a sustainable local community, meeting the climate change challenge and healthy place shaping, with implications for potential housing development in the area until 2040.
The Sibford Gower Parish Profile collates all the current information which CDC currently holds on Sibford Gower.
The Parish Council are keen to hear the views of all residents, helping to contribute to the collective response. However, CDC also welcomes and encourages responses from individuals and other representative groups as an essential part of the consultation process.
The consultation period ends on 10th November. Comments can be submitted online at https://letstalkcherwellgov.ukengagementhq.com or by email PlanningPolicyConsultation@cherwell-dc.gov.uk or post. (See public notice below)

Cherwell DC have today opened public consultation on their Local Plan Review. Amongst other things, this will eventually identify potential development sites within the Sibfords and numbers of houses to be built.
The consultation period runs to 10 November; the notice attached below gives more information. All documents relevant to the Review are available on the CDC website. Comments may be submitted online at https://letstalkcherwellgov.uk.engagementhq.com or by email or post (details are in the attached notice).
Once they have had a chance to get familiar with these documents, Sibford Ferris Parish Council will post a news item on this website providing relevant information for residents wishing to respond.

You are invited to contribute to two current public consultations, on the Oxford-Cambridge Arc and the Oxfordshire Plan 2050.
The Arc is a globally significant area between Oxford, Milton Keynes and Cambridge. It is formed of five ceremonial counties: Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. The government and local partners see “an opportunity to build a better economic, social and environmental future for the area, with high-quality, well-connected and sustainable communities making the Arc an even more beautiful place to live, work and visit”. There is an opportunity to provide your views on what the vision for the future growth of the Arc should be to 2050; the consultation closes on 12 October and you may respond online at https://placebuilder.io/futureofthearc
The Oxfordshire Plan is a long term vision to 2050 and considers addressing climate change, improving environmental quality, creating strong and healthy communities, sustainable travel, and creating jobs and providing homes. It is a joint plan shared by six Oxfordshire authorities. It will consider the needs of the whole county regarding housing needs and infrastructure. This consultation closes on 8 October and you may respond online at https://www.oxfordshireopenthought.org/
The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) have put out some information that they feel is important to be included in responses to the Oxfordshire Plan consultation in order to protect the countryside. You can access this information on http://www.cpreoxon.org.uk/news/item/2874-oxfordshire-plan-2050-why-care-about-the-futureof-our-county should you wish to look into this further; it may help to provide details of planning law that can make responses to the consultation stronger.
Residents will also be interested in the Cherwell Local Plan, which will identify potential development sites within the Sibfords and numbers of houses to be built. A public consultation on this starts on 29 September and runs to 10 November; we will post more information on this website about how to respond as soon as we have the details.

From November this year Oxfordshire County Council, in partnership with South Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse and Cherwell District Councils, is implementing Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE). This is where powers to enforce parking contraventions transfers from the Police to the County Council. It is expected that CPE will bring a number of benefits to residents, businesses and other road users, including increased compliance of parking restrictions and less blocking of major traffic routes by parked vehicles.
There is more information on the leaflet attached below and on the Oxfordshire CC website.
Tim Huckvale (webmaster) writes: I’m willing to be proved wrong, but as far as I can make out this will have absolutely zero impact within the Sibfords, as there are no parking restrictions anywhere in the villages (ie no yellow lines). Obstruction offences, such as cars parked partly on the footpath where there is no parking restriction marked, will continue to be a police matter. However it may possibly become easier for the community to request the establishment of parking restrictions – provided that the parish councils are willing to pay for them.
