Did you know…..The Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan (MCNP) is the largest member neighbourhood plan in the country? We are a forum of 11 members and 1 associate member, across 12 villages. We are extremely proud of the inclusive nature that this unique forum has provided – where we’re able to come together as a team and work towards a common goal – a better plan for our rural communities – and embracing the change that comes with development within the heart of our communities.

Did you know…..The Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan (MCNP)is able to include local green spaces (LGS) within the plan that seek to protect them from unwanted development in the future. There are a total of 32 LGS identified in our review across the plan area – a further 15 are being put forward in our review, benefiting many local communities including Heyford Park.

Did you know…..The Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan (MCNP) proposed  a new  burial ground at Heyford Park amongst the original Plan policies. A huge increase in population at Heyford Park means that local cemeteries are not able to cope with this future, local demand. We continue to work with the major land owners to help identify and implement this facility.

Did you know…..The Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan (MCNP) has worked very hard to implement the provision of traffic management across the plan area, even progressing to a planning stage of an exemplar project proposal in Upper Heyford Village, which could be rolled out as a cohesive approach in all villages, should funding be available from OCC. Traffic impact of the development at Heyford Park is a key concern of residents in the area and MCNP works hard to ensure this is managed.

Did you know…..The Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan (MCNP) is actively objecting to the vast warehousing schemes currently proposed in our neighbouring parishes. Whilst we understand there is a national need for employment, our area currently has employment figures way above the national average. Warehousing of the nature proposed does not result in huge job increases, but rather huge amounts of extra traffic on the surrounding rural roads.

….has been very active in campaigning for a new Local Health Facility at Heyford Park. Initially the NHS rejected the proposal for a new pharmacy but MCNP worked with the GP Practice to appeal the refusal, which resulted in the approval of the pharmacy that is open today.

Did you know…..The Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan (MCNP) has been in force since a referendum was held in 2019?

A neighbourhood plan is a legal planning document that is used to guide development within the plan area, but it is formulated by local residents and volunteers, NOT planning authorities.

The MCNP is bringing its policies up to date and adding some important new ones to benefit all our local residents. We are now consulting with all the communities within the Plan area and asking for your views.
