Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the proposed use of the site as a builders' yard and store (including open storage), would result in an inappropriate activity in an open rural location, detrimental to the character and visual amenity of the area which lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The development would be contrary to the general, countryside and employment policies of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan particularly Policies G1, G5, C2, C10 and E6 and of the Council's Second Deposit Draft 2011 Local Plan, particularly Policies G1, G4, C2, A3 and E5.
Having regard to the unsatisfactory impact of the use on the countryside, the development represents an inappropriate use of existing buildings contrary to Policy C11 of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and Policy E8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, Second Deposit Draft.
