Oxfordshire Garden Village is moving to a new website with a fresh look, additional information and reports, video content and regular news articles. We hope you have found using the Commonplace website useful and continue to engage with us via our new website. The comments and feedback you have provided on this website have been captured and republished on the new website, under the “Previous Comments” section.
Grosvenor and West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC) are looking forward to welcoming local residents and groups to the next phase in our public consultation on proposals for the Oxfordshire Cotswolds Garden Village.
The public exhibition and design charrette will be an opportunity for local residents to see the progress of the Garden Village plans and help shape our next steps with your feedback. Attendees will also have the chance to speak with members of the design and planning teams working on the project, pose any questions you may have and find out more about various elements of the proposals.

We are committed to undertaking a transparent consultation as we develop our ideas for the Garden Village. You can download a report by Kevin Murray Associates which contains initial findings and analysis of feedback by following this link .
We would like to thank all those who have contributed feedback so far, and hope that the issues raised in this report will provoke further discussion about the proposals.
