Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 18th September 2015
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The trees growing along the southern boundary of the site are protected by a Tree Preservation Order and are category A and B trees when assessed against the criteria stated in BS5837 Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction. The proposed footprint of the new dwelling extends into the foreseeable rooting area of the protected trees and the pedestrian and new access is likely to cause foreseeable root damage due to existing and required site levels. As such, the proposed development is likely to lead to the loss or damage of these trees which have significant amenity and arboricultural value. The proposal is contrary to policy CSEN1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, saved policy C9 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, and advice set out in BS 5837 2012 and section 3.4 of the South Oxfordshire Design Guide and the supporting Trees and Development Best Practice Guide.
