Decision
Refusal of Outline Planning Permission on 18th February 2004
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed development, for 11 dwellings, is contrary to the overall strategy of the Development Plan, where housing development is to be steered to towns and larger villages where there is access to services and facilities. Aston Tirrold is a settlement which lacks an adequate range of facilities to support new development. The proposal therefore represents an unsustainable form of development and is contrary to policies G1and H1 of the Oxfordshire Structure Plan and policies G1, G3 and H5 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and G1, G2, G3 and H5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan Second Deposit Draft.

The erection of dwellings in close proximity to the existing farm and agricultural buildings would result in future occupiers of the dwellings being adversely affected by noise and smell so being contrary to policies H11 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and EP2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 Second Deposit Draft.

The site lies within the North Wessex Down AONB. The erection of 11 dwellings would result in an inappropriate form of built development which would detract from the character and appearance of the area detrimental to the visual amenity and character of the locality, contrary to policy C2 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 Second Deposit Draft.

The site lies within the North Wessex Down AONB. The erection of 11 dwellings would result in an inappropriate form of built development which would be detrimental to the distinctiveness and character of this part of the AONB, contrary to policy C2 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 Second Deposit Draft.

Having regard to the location of the site adjoining the Aston Tirrold Conservation Area and within close proximity to three listed buildings and the lack of detail on siting, design and external appearance, the proposal fails to demonstrate that it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would not adversely affect the setting of the listed buildings. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies Con 7 and Con 15 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and policies Con 7 and Con 10 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 Second Deposit Draft.
