A blueprint for 20,560 new homes across the Vale of White Horse has received approval from a planning inspector, meaning it could be adopted within weeks<\/h2>\n

A planning inspector has approved controversial plans to build some 20,560 new homes across the Vale of White Horse<\/a>, Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n

Approval of the Local Plan means the document could be adopted in the coming weeks. This, councillors said, would close a loophole that has allowed developers to propose new housing on inappropriate sites.<\/p>\n

The Local Plan will now be put before the district council for a vote during a meeting on the 14 December.<\/p>\n

All councils are required to have a Local Plan in situ to outline sites available for building. Local Plans not only identify how land is used, but also provide a framework for development across the country, incorporating the views of local people to ensure the needs of the community are met.<\/p>\n

Local Plan gets green light<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the Bicester Advertiser, Council leader Matthew Barber<\/a> said: \u201cI am delighted that we\u2019ve been given the go-ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a process that has taken several years and has seen communities contributing to the Local Plan, we are now in a position to have much greater control over all development in the Vale.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision followed a public examination of the plan<\/a> earlier in the year. Planning Inspector Malcolm Rivett ordered the Vale of White Horse District Council to present its plans to tackle the housing shortage within two years.<\/p>\n

He said the district council\u2019s agreement to provide 2,200 homes to tackle Oxford\u2019s housing crisis was welcome but had come \u201cvery late\u201d.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cThe two year deadline is appropriate having regard to both the time it is likely to take to identify and fully assess the allocations necessary to meet Oxford\u2019s housing needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
