Movement and Place Plans

The Movement and Place (MAP) plans form part 2s of the Local Transport Connectivity Plan. The Science Vale MAP Plan was the first plan to be discussed at cabinet in January 2026.

A greater emphasis has been had on "place" hence forth the plans now reflect this in their title. They will reflect Oxfordshire's changing priority to be a place shaper of choice and articulate the council's wide aspirations.

Objectives and Actions have been developed for our places with a focus on achieving liveable, healthy neighbourhoods and to help demonstrate and achieve integration across different modes and allow the achievement of the LTCP targets. The plans will replace the extant Local Transport Plan 4 strategies, adopted in 2016.

This MAP Plan reflects the Bicester area in the North of the County (Cherwell) with further plans to come forward over the following months.
