Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 14th May 2015
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed design of the extension would neither preserve nor enhance the special interest of the listed building, failing the test of Section 66 of the Planning (LB&CA) Act 1990. As such, the application would constitute substantial harm to this Grade II* listed building and is contrary to Paragraphs 132 and 133 of the NPPF which state that this harm should be wholly exceptional and only necessary to achieve substantial public benefits by returning the building to a viable use. The development also fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Benson Conservation Area. As such, the proposal is contrary to saved Policies CON2, CON5 and CON7 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and to Policy CSEN3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027.
