Description: The County of Oxford Official Plan document outlines the policies and objectives that have been established in an effort to guide and manage the use of land and resources within the county. The Official Plan was adopted by Oxford County Council in 1995, and has since been amended and expanded in response to Provincial Policy Statements and the Official Plan Review process. The digital Official Plan data layer was created to represent lands in Oxford County with designations as defined in the Official Plan document. The data is used to produce numerous schedules in the map portion of the document. It is accessible from within the county's corporate Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for use in site specific queries, analyses, etc. The data is changed through the process of application and subsequent Official Plan Amendments (OPAs) and Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) orders.
