Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 27th April 2016
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The site lies outside the built up limits of West Hagbourne, which is classified as one of the "other" villages in the district: It is not identified for development in the Development Plan. The proposal does not represent infill development as defined by the Core Strategy and it is unsustainable as it has poor access to essential services and facilities and poor links to the main body of the village. The application does not accord with the district's strategy for growth and necessary infrastructure. The district does not have a 5 year housing supply but for the reasons set out the proposal is unsustainable and therefore contrary to the NPPF, NPPG and policies CSS1, CSR1, CSM1 and CSI1of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy
That the proposal fails to secure affordable housing to meet the needs of the District contrary to policies CSH3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and wider guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework. It is acknowledged this reason for refusal could be overcome through the provision of a suitable Section 106 legal agreement.
The proposal would amount to an unwarranted encroachment into the countryside detracting from the rural character, landscape setting and natural beauty of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the landscape setting of West Hagbourne. The development is therefore contrary to policies CSEN1 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, saved policies G2, G4, D1 and C4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and does not represent sustainable development as outlined in the NPPF.
