The Planning PROCESS

The planning process for Botley West does not follow the usual local rules.  It is so massive that it is considered national infrastructure, and so the decision rests with Westminster.  Check out our handy guide below ('Development Consent Explained') that provides an overview of the steps in this very complex process as we understand them. 

We've also included the UK policies on energy and on renewable energy infrastructure and the “Pathways to Net Zero Report 2021” written by the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford University and funded by all Oxfordshire’s Councils.
