On 20 December 2022, the County Council Cabinet approved an updated Minerals and Waste Development Scheme. The Scheme sets out the decision and timetable to pursue a Minerals and Waste Plan, combining parts 1 and 2 into a new Minerals and Waste Plan.

In light of this decision, work has now stopped on the Oxfordshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan Part 2: (Site Allocations Document). It will cease its progress through the plan-making process and will consequently be given no weight in future planning decisions.

The Oxfordshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan Part 1 (Core Strategy) remains in place as part of the Development Plan until it is replaced by the New Minerals and Waste Plan.
