SOUTH Oxfordshire District Council has announced that it will commence work on a new Core Strategy for future housing development, after it scapped the last one following the general election.

In a statement today, SODC warned that a new strategy could be some years away.

The purpose of this key document will be to set out how SODC will provide new housing up to 2026, as well as how it will help to provide new jobs and help town centres across the district to thrive.

In June, a report on the district council’s Core Strategy was withdrawn from the agenda of the council’s Cabinet in the light of a letter from Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles, setting out his commitment to abolish regional spatial strategies, including the South East Plan.

The old South East Plan had contained housing targets for individual local authority areas – including 850 for Thame, to 2026. The strategy attracted much opposition from Henley, Wallingford and particularly Thame, where a petition against SODC’s preferred site for a large housing development attracted many signatures.

The secretary of state has issued further guidance on what the council should now be doing and makes clear that revoking the South East Plan is not a signal for councils to stop making plans for their area and that they should continue to develop their core strategies, reflecting local peoples aspirations and decisions on important issues such as housing and economic development.

Cllr Angie Paterson, Cabinet Member for planning, said:
“We now have a strong steer from government that we are responsible for establishing the right pattern of development for our area, including the right level of local housing provision. The withdrawal of the South East Plan means that housing targets will no longer be imposed upon us.

“The responsibility is now ours to address how best to meet the various challenges facing us, including how best to foster a healthy local economy and how to meet the present and on-going need for more housing.

“To respond fully to these new freedoms and responsibilities will mean a fresh approach to producing local planning policy documents and we know this will take some time to do, probably several years. But in the meantime we are also very conscious that our current Local Plan only takes us to 2011. We need a clear vision to carry us through the next few years until we can deliver the next generation of local plan. We need a vision that will help us to continue to attract funding and investment for those areas where we are confident there is support for further development and that will also ensure we are in control of what development happens elsewhere – development led by our vision and not by speculative planning applications.”

Soha Housing is the first social housing provider to become involved with one of the Greening Campaigns taking root in 180 communities nationwide.

The housing association, with some 5,200+ homes across South Oxfordshire and beyond, will be demonstrating its part in ?greening? Thame at a conference in London today, 20 July.

The Greening Campaign conference at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre will see delegates from government, business and community from throughout the UK coming together to pool knowledge on practical action to mobilise neighbourhoods to adapt to climate change.

The aim is to make it possible for everybody in some way to reduce energy consumption and their personal and community carbon footprint.

THE traditional Thame Fair, which normally visits the town at the same time as Thame show, will still be held in September and will not be affected by the change in the Thame Show date.

After 120 years, the Oxfordshire County and Thame Show will be changing the show date this year from the traditional third Thursday in September to Saturday, July 31, 2010.

Although the Show will be moving to July, the dates of the traditional Fair will not change and this year it will be held from September 16 to 18, in Thame town centre as usual.

OXFORDSHIRE County Council has published a new guide for Parish and Town Councils get more involved with public paths in their areas. The 80-page Countryside Access Guide is intended to help councils identify issues and opportunities to improve local routes for people in their parish.

Unique local knowledgeLocal councils have unique local knowledge and contacts, with the potential to make a real difference to countryside access in their patch.

Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport Rodney Rose said: ?Parish and Town Councils have long been central to rights of way management. At a county level we recognise this and want to encourage local councils to work with us to give a local approach.

“Some parishes are already very active in the management and improvement of countryside access in their areas and this is much appreciated. To those councils we hope this guide will still be of value to your work.?

The benefits of good countryside accessA good network of rights of way and accessible open space can improve physical and mental health, support the local economy through tourism and leisure spending and contribute towards a more sustainable transport system where paths are used for journeys to school, work or the shops.

Councillor Rose added: “A lack of access to a car or large amounts of spare time or income shouldn?t mean that you can?t have access to great countryside or green spaces.?

The guide is available in electronic form for Oxfordshire local councils and residents. To request a copy, email countryside@oxfordshire.gov.uk or call 01865 810226.
