Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 7th July 2017
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed homes would be positioned off a busy road, in a location that does not offer easy access to services and facilities. As such, the proposal would have an adverse effect on the safety of future occupiers, particularly pedestrians and cyclists, and general users of the highway. The development would therefore be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and policies T1, G2 and G3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. The proposal would also be contrary to the overarching principles of the Joint Henley Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan, which aims to deliver additional homes in locations where services and facilities are easily accessible.
The application site is rural in character and appearance and the additional built form of the garage would have an urbanising impact on the character of the site. The density of the development would also not be in keeping with the rural surroundings, further detracting from the character and appearance of the locality. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, policies CSEN1 and CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, policies G2, G4 and C4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and policy DQS1 of the Joint Henley Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan.
