Decision
Refusal of Listed Building Consent on 27th June 2007
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposal involves the loss of the parking area to the public house, the loss of part of the garden and the removal of extensions to the listed building, which in isolation may not be objectionable. However, the impact of the loss of such facilities on the long term viability and use of the building as a public house has not been adequately assessed. The loss of these areas and the development of the garden would reduce the possibility of providing improved or extended facilities in the future to support the commercial use of the building. The existing use of the building contributes to the vitality of the conservation area and the character of the listed building and the garden and parking areas are important open spaces that support that use. A proposal at this stage that may compromise its use when the property has not been adequately marketed would be premature. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policies G2, CON3, CON4, CON5, CON7, H4 and CF1 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
That, having regard to the width of the building plot and the proximity of the new dwellings to the retained public house, the proposal to provide a pair of semi-detached dwellings would detract from the character and setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the Dorchester-on-Thames Conservation Area contrary to Policies G2, CON5 and CON7 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
The subdivision of the second floor bedroom to provide an ensuite bathroom to the bedroom would detract from the historic character of the listed building contrary to Policy CON3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
