Decision
Refusal of Outline Planning Permission on 7th February 2018
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The Development Plan identifies appropriate locations for new development. Planning permission will not be granted for new houses on sites within other villages unless the proposal is for infill development on sites up to 0.1 hectares in size in an otherwise built up frontage or where the site is closely surrounded by buildings. In this case, the site is not an infill site in a built up frontage, is over 1 hectare in size and is not closely surrounded by buildings. Postcombe has limited facilities and poor public transport links, so that future occupants would be highly dependent on travel by car for employment and other services. The development is therefore not sustainable and does not accord with the district's strategy for growth, which only allows for limited growth on infill sites in other villages and the development would undermine this spatial strategy. The district does not have a 5 year housing supply but the proposal is unsustainable and therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and policies CSS1, CSR1, CSM1 and CSI1of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy.
That the proposed development would represent a significant encroachment into the open countryside detracting from the undeveloped rural character and appearance of the area. As such the proposal would result in significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area and local landscape. The proposed development would be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, policy CSEN1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and policies G2, G4, C4 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
The proposed development would result in the loss of grade 2 agricultural land, which is the best and most versatile agricultural land. Such agricultural land is a finite resource and the application fails to demonstrate that there is no land at lower grades available for the development. The proposal is therefore contrary paragraph 112 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
