Decision
Refusal of Listed Building Consent on 16th February 2018
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The cumulative impact of the proposed works would harm the special historical and architectural qualities of the listed buildings (The Elms and Elms Barn) and their setting. This harm would constitute less than substantial harm with regard to the tests of paragraph 134 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012. However, the harm is not outweighed by the public benefits of the revised scheme for the extra care housing development within the site and is therefore not justified. As a result, the proposal is contrary to saved Policy CON3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, Policy CSEN3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027, Policy HA4 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
