That the painting of the flintwork to the front elevation of the property is unnecessary as the material is in sound condition and of a high quality finish. As such, there is no justification to alter the appearance of the building and leaving the masonry as existing would ensure there is no unnecessary risk of trapping moisture behind the paint which could damage the substrate or surrounding brickwork which is more susceptible to decay than flint. In addition, the roadside location is likely to necessitate regular re-painting as a result of passing vehicles. As such, the proposed painting of the flintwork would constitute harm to the special interest of the building and there is no reasonable justification for the work. The proposal is therefore contrary to saved Policy CON3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, to Policy CSEN3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and to the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.
