The Case / Documents

The document register

To maintain credibility, NWAG has been careful to use evidence against the building of the 1,400 house NWSDA and WEL2 that has ONLY been extracted from authoritative sources — Oxfordshire County Council, West Oxfordshire District Council, Thames Water, the Environment Agency, the National Planning Policy Framework, and the North Witney (Land) Consortium itself. Every document below carries a stable reference code (e.g. EA 2007) — the same code used inline wherever that document is cited elsewhere on this site.
