In 2012 it was agreed to operate as an organisation independent of the Blewbury Village Society. Sustainable Blewbury has its own constitution, approved at our AGM in April 2012. The constitution was modified at the AGM in 2013, to add trustees, this was needed to allow us to enter into leasehold agreements and other legal arrangements. it was amended again in 2015 to ensure that funds are used only for the aims and objectives of the organisation, and to require that if the organisation is wound up any remaining assets must be given to charity or to a non-profit organisation – this was needed in order to obtain a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. We also affiliated to CAG (Community Action Groups) Oxfordshire, and joined a growing wider regional and national movement of communities small and large striving for lower carbon standards of living.

​

In 2014–16 most members of our Core Group were involved in gathering information, consulting the village and preparing the Blewbury Neighbourhood Plan, which was approved by a village referendum in November 2016 and became an integral part of the planning process for the village.

​

Finally in 2023 the decision was made to seek charitable status so that the organisation would be able to acquire land to be used as a nature reserve.
