To engage in meaningful dialogue about meeting local needs

About NORA

Cumulative Impact Report

1700 of you put your names forward in our petition, showing there is considerable concern about the cumulative impact of 13 developments within a 5 mile radius of Bicester. NORA were welcomed to a CDC meeting to present our report and ensure that councillors take notice.

Why we exist

We exist to ensure that development in north Oxfordshire is driven by clear and identified local needs instead of a political agenda. 

We aim to:

  • Ensure local views are heard by and included in decision making at Cherwell District Council
  • Influence decisions at every stage to ensure suitability and fairness of development
  • Prevent overdevelopment in north Oxfordshire in favour of high-quality development that truly meets local needs and protects our living environment

We care about our history

Our area is home to many historic places including market towns Bicester and Banbury, small villages and hamlets and of course countless ancient buildings.

We care about the natural environment

The gentle landscape of north Oxfordshire with its ancient hedgerows, fields, rolling hills, streams, copses and woods are home to more than just humans. Our natural environment feeds us, nurtures our physical and mental health, and sustains a huge range of animal life.
