Protect

The OGT is keen to protect both registered and non-registered sites of interest, and submits comments on planning applications affecting both urban and rural sites. We keep in touch with the latest government initiatives and give updates on relevant changes to legislation affecting gardens. The OGT has commented on numerous planning applications and proposals including those concerning the Oxford Greenbelt, on Minerals and Waste Sites proposed for Oxfordshire and on proposals affecting individual sites. We remain concerned and vigilant about "garden grabbing" and the replacement of front gardens with hard surfacing for parking spaces and would urge all members to let the Committee know of further threats you are concerned about.
