The Oxfordshire HLC project commenced in October 2012, funded by Historic England and hosted by Oxfordshire County Council (OCC). Due to a change in key personnel, the project was not brought to a close until January 2018. The Oxfordshire HLC represents the final project completed (outside of London) within Historic England’s national programme of supporting counties and other local planning authorities prepare HLCs.
The aims of the Oxfordshire HLC were:
The HLC will be a valuable resource for increasing our understanding and appreciation of the historic landscape across the community and in all aspects of planning and land management. The project will strengthen the evidence bases available to planning staff in the County and District Authorities, and will influence Local Development Frameworks. The project will enable the eventual integration of historic and natural environment datasets to create a more holistic landscape character assessment for the county.
