Planning Application Details

That the design, location and materials used in the proposed development fail to protect local distinctiveness; and the scale and type of development exceeds that which is commensurate with a local public house/restaurant in a village setting contrary to policies G2, G6, D1 and TSM4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That the intensification in the use of the site associated with the marquee results in a loss of amenity to the occupiers of nearby properties from noise generated by an activity that is not compatible with the scale or character of its surroundings. In this regard the development is contrary to policy EP2 and TSM4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That the marquee is damaging to the attractive landscape setting of the settlement contrary to policy C4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That the proposed marquee by reason of its size, scale, location, design, use of materials and its failure to respect local distinctiveness adversely affects the setting of listed buildings which form part of the hotel complex contrary to policy CON5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That inadequate provision has been made for car parking in connection with both the existing approved and proposed development, which is likely to exacerbate existing neighbourhood amenity issues relating to street parking in Bear Lane contrary to policies D2, T2 and TSM4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. It has not been demonstratred that this matter is capable of being addressed by conditions attached to a planning permission in a manner that would not result in the loss of greenfield land contrary to policies G4 and C5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
