Faringdon Neighbourhood Plan Economic Strategy Support

We were asked by the Chamber of Commerce and Town Council of this Oxfordshire market town to bring together a range of evidence that could be used to shape economic policies within the emerging Faringdon Neighbourhood Plan. Our Economic Development Strategy focused on the key economic issues facing Faringdon and suggested potential uses for a number of employment sites that are available for development but have failed to come forward over recent years.

Drawing upon our expertise in Local Plan evidence base development, we identified a number of key economic priorities for the town to focus on in order to deliver its economic vision. We also provided some practical guidance for the Neighbourhood Plan on promoting the town as a business location, ensuring a sufficient supply of space to accommodate business growth, and revitalising the Town Centre to enhance its attractiveness as a hub for local businesses and services.
