​

Faringdon is located within the Vale of White Horse District Council area and it is one of the key historic market towns in the district.  The Local Plan 2031 identifies the Vale as falling between the large settlements of Oxford, Swindon, and Didcot, each of which are expected to experience major growth over the upcoming years, and many of Faringdon's residents travel to these areas for work.

​

The Local Plan 2031 identifies sites to the south of Faringdon for new housing.  The high street and surrounding areas are located within a conservation area on the north side of the town, and interestingly over the years it has grown away from its historic centre.  There are also conservation areas in the nearby settlements of Great Coxwell, Little Coxwell, Coleshill, Buscot, Littleworth, and Shellingford.  If you are considering a home extension within a conservation area, we would typically advise seeking pre-application advise from the council to alleviate any concerns that the planning officer may have.
