Refusal of Outline Planning Permission on 20th March 2017
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The application proposes a significant enlargement, in terms of the site area and number of dwellings proposed, over the site allocation in the Sonning Common Neighbourhood Plan. The proposal would extend significantly beyond the linear infill allocation as set out in the Neighbourhood Plan and result in development outside the built area of the village. The application is therefore contrary to Policy HS4 of the Sonning Common Neighbourhood Plan, Polices CS1, CSR1, CSEN1 and CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, Polices C4,G2 and G4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and in particular but not confined to paragraphs 14 and 198 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

The application site area borders the Chilterns AONB and includes open farmland which contributes to the character and appearance of the area and the enjoyment of a nearby right of way.  The proposed development would diminish the role of the site in protecting and enhancing a distinctive and valued landscape which contributes to the identity of Sonning Common. It would therefore result in the loss of the distinctive landscape boundaries of the existing settlement and harm the valued landscape setting of the AONB and the wider dipslope landscape character of the area. As such the application is contrary to Policy CSEN1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, Policies G2, G4, C4 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, Policy ENV2 of the Sonning Common Neighbourhood Plan and in particular but not confined to paragraphs 7,14,109 and 115 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

In the absence of a completed S106 legal agreement, the proposal fails to secure affordable housing to meet the needs of the district. As such, the development would be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy CSH3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and the objectives of the Sonning Common Neighbourhood Plan

In the absence of a completed S106 legal agreement, the proposal fails to secure infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of the development. As such, the development would be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies CSI1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, Policies T1, R2 and R6 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
