The Inspector will conduct a Pre-Hearing Meeting to explore two key issues before deciding on the next steps for the process.

Is Oxfords' projected unmet housing need accurate and sound
If so, does it meet the test of Exceptional circumstances required to build on Green Belt

Please try to attend this crucial meeting at the Council Chamber in Bodicote House.
