Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The scale, siting and design of the proposed development would have a harmful impact on the setting of The Elms listed building and the appearance and character of this unique open space within the Thame Conservation Area. Therefore the proposal is contrary to policies CSEN1, CSEN3 and CSQ3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, Policies G2, C9, D1, CON5 and CON7 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and Policies HA4 and ESDQ16 and ESQD20 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan.

The proposal for 78 open market extra care dwellings would comprise a large area of uniform type and size and the proposal does not include a Thame-specific affordable housing and dwellings mix strategy and fails to provide on-site affordable housing. Therefore, the proposal is contrary to Policies CSH3 and CSH4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and Policies H8, H9 and H10 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan.

The proposed development fails to provide a good standard of amenity for future occupants of the extra care units in conflict with Policies D1, D3 and D4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and Section 12 of the NPPF.

In the absence of a completed S106 agreement the application fails to secure affordable housing and infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of the development, contrary to policy CSI1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy.

In the absence of a completed S106 agreement the application fails to make provision for the implementation of improvement works to Elms Park contrary to Policy HA4 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan
