At an earlier meeting of this committee Members discussed West Oxfordshire District Council plans to include a biodiversity checklist for planning applications. The new checklist now forms part of the planning application validation process, applicants must submit a completed form alongside planning application documents. The forms (and a guide to completing them) are now available on the West Oxfordshire District Council website.
