Sustainable Community Strategy

WOSP logo

A Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) is a strategic plan and long term vision for the District which sets out the highest level priorities for the sustainable development of the economic, environmental and social well being of the area.

A Sustainable Community Strategy for the District

Preparation of the Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) is the responsibility of the West Oxfordshire Strategic Partnership (WOSP).  Once completed the SCS will provide the strategic vision for West Oxfordshire as a place, identify shared priorities for action and set out how to address some of the more difficult cross cutting issues.  It is an opportunity for organisations working in West Oxfordshire to jointly plan to address community needs in circumstances where partnership action can add value and make a difference over and above what might be achieved individually.

Progress so far

At its meeting in April 2007, the Steering Group of WOSP agreed to develop a new Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) for the District. This decision was based on initial discussions with a wide range of stakeholders, and a new Vision and Priorities were endorsed as a basis for further consultation.

So far much work has been done to establish a robust evidence base, and to consult with local organisations and residents, as well as partners of WOSP and the Council.

Next steps

The next stage of the process is to evolve a detailed Action Plan to address the priority issues which have been identified.

The new SCS is due to be completed in June 2008, and will link closely to the future spatial planning of the area through the emerging Local Development Framework which will replace the existing Local Plan. This will ensure the community and spatial planning of the District is progressed in a coordinated way.
