Generational plan will unlock the long-term potential of the region, transforming the Arc into a world-class place to live and work sustainably.
An intention to establish a new single voice for the area - an Arc Growth Body - to drive and support economic growth
An ambitious plan to unleash the economic and cultural potential of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, to transform it into one of the world’s premier growth corridors and a world-leader in sustainability, has been announced today (18 February 2021) by Housing Minister Rt Hon Christopher Pincher.
The spatial framework plan will help to create thousands of jobs, drive investment, protect and enhance the environment, and provide the infrastructure and beautiful new places needed to make the area – which spans the five counties of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire – an even greater place to live and work.
