Planning Applications

Freeland Parish Council receives Planning Applications from West Oxfordshire District Council Planning Department and sends the views of the Council about the application to the Planning Department.



The Applications may be read ONLINE (including all associated Documents and Plans).


WODC have recently changed to a new system that blocks the direct links used previously by "timing them out".  


So, please COPY AND PASTE the BLUE NUMBER into the search box at the bottom of the new online WODC Planning site at:

Be in the know about planning applications near your home

Want to find out when someone puts in for planning near your home? Interested in tracking the progress of planning applications for our village/town?


You can now sign up to receive emails from West Oxfordshire District Council to find out when a planning application is registered within 500 metres of your home, and choose whether to track its progress or submit your views about the application quickly and simply online.

The email notifications service is part of improvements to the planning section of the council’s website to make it easier to find out about applications online.


What’s more, you can also get weekly reminders about your waste collections so you know which bins to put out, as well as opt to receive alerts in the event of changes to your collections due to bank holidays.
