Headington Action was instrumental in setting up the Headington Neighbourhood Forum in 2013 to prepare the Neighbourhood Plan. We also provide financial support for the preparation of the Plan. Visit the Headington Plan website for up-to-date information. Headington is a lively and growing place to live and work. But we are facing pressures for more houses, from more traffic and the impact of large developments. Many of us know what we want, and many of us know what we don’twant for Headington. How can we make our views count, and get the very best for our area?
The Localism Act gives us powers to shape Headington’s future development. We can do this by setting up a Neighbourhood Forum of local people who live and work within and alongside the community to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan. This Plan allows local people to participate in making planning decisions and on how infrastructure money is spent. Many communities in Oxford are already preparing such plans.
