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. The proposal does not represent infill development as defined by the Core Strategy and it is not an allocated site. The application does not accord with the district's strategy for growth in the other villages and the council are able to demonstrate a three year housing supply such that the housing policies for the growth of the other villages is not out of date. The proposal is contrary to the NPPF, NPPG and policies CSS1 and CSR1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy.
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.
The scheme fails to provide high quality design that is locally distinctive and it would be harmful to the rural character of the area contrary to advice in the NPPF, Policy CSQ3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and saved policies G2 and D1 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan
