Summary
The Oxfordshire Infrastructure Strategy (OxIS) is an Future Oxfordshire Partnership commissioned project involving all six Oxfordshire Local Authorities. Its purpose is to identify, map and prioritise Oxfordshire’s infrastructure requirements to 2040 and beyond.
Key Outputs
The OxIS Stage 1 Report was produced in March 2022 and provides a strategic framework for the Oxfordshire Local Authorities, as well as key strategic partners, to support the prioritisation of proposed infrastructure scheme investment and to identify potential delivery and funding opportunities to 2040.

An OxIS Stage 2 report was planned for 22/23, to consider new proposals for strategic infrastructure required to meet Oxfordshire’s needs in the period to 2050; it was due to be aligned with the Oxfordshire Plan 2050 (OP2050). The cessation of the OP2050 brought a halt to the Stage 2 update of OxIS. Officers at the six Oxfordshire Local Authorities are engaging with stakeholders to explore what the next stage of OxIS could look like in this context, including how such a strategy might respond to the Net Zero Route Map and Action Plan, energy supply and health issues, and green infrastructure.
