West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC) is currently consulting on where future development should take place across the district up to 2026. This process is important and will set the overall framework for development in the area well into the future. When specific planning applications are received, they will need to conform to this overall policy.

WODC suggests that in the future Carterton ‘consolidates’ its development while Witney and Chipping Norton develop. The proposals also suggest the only feasible area to accommodate significant new housing is to the north of Carterton. Both the Town Council and CFF have commented that Carterton should be allowed the potential of more development and that areas to the east could also be considered, while respecting the setting of neighbouring villages such as Brize Norton. They have also commented that there should be more specific appraisals of potential sites, as has been the case for Witney. It is expected that WODC will mount a 6-week consultation process during January 2010, and CFF will be working with Planning Aid to ensure the local community is well placed to comment on the District's proposals for future development in the area.
