The proposal fails to provide an adequate level of off-street parking for the proposed use, which would lead to the displacement of parking associated with the proposed development onto nearby roads and public car parking facilities. This would have a detrimental impact on the vibrancy of Thame town centre. This is contrary to Policy T2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, Policy GA6 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan and paragraphs 39 and 40 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

P20/S3669/DISThe proposal would result in an overdevelopment of the site which is demonstrated by the inadequacy of car parking provision and the lack of high quality and usable amenity space being provided for future occupiers. This is contrary to Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, Policies D3 and T2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and Policies GA6 and EDSQ28 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan and Paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

P19/S4290/DISHaving regard to the bulk, height, massing and design of the proposal in this prominent location, the scheme would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Thame Conservation Area. Furthermore, the loss of the existing building itself would constitute an unattractive gap in the Conservation Area and without an approved replacement building, demolition would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area. This is contrary to Policies CON6 and CON7 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, Policies CSTHA1 and CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2012, Policies ESDQ16, ESDQ17, ESDQ18 and ESDQ20 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan and Paragraphs 17 and 137 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
