The application site lies beyond the edge of the settlement of Chinnor, it is not a site allocated for development in a Development Plan, including any Neighbourhood Plan and is not considered an infill site within the built up limits of the settlement. Furthermore, the application does not accord with the district's strategy for growth and necessary infrastructure. The proposed development is therefore contrary to policies CSS1, CSR1, CSH1 and CSI1 of the adopted Core Strategy. The development would extend into and encroach upon the adjacent countryside contrary to policies G2 and G4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

P18/S0875/DISResidential development of this scale on this site would be harmful to the character of the area and the surrounding landscape. In particular, the development would be at odds with the open field pattern that characterises the structure of the surrounding rural landscape, would fail to respect the settlement pattern of this part of Chinnor and would have an inappropriately urbanising impact on Lower Icknield Way. As such, the proposal would cause material harm to the character and appearance of the area and surrounding landscape. This is contrary to policies CSEN1 and CSQ3 of the adopted Core Strategy, policies G4, C4 and D1 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and advice within the National Planning Policy Framework.
