Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 5th March 1997
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the adopted
Oxfordshire Structure Plan, the adopted Central Oxfordshire Local Plan
and the approved South Oxfordshire Local Plan which state that in the
Green Belt the re-use of existing buildings will be permitted only if
the proposed use and any associated use has no materially greater
impact than the former use on the openness of the Green Belt and the
purposes of including land within it (Policy C10, SOLP).  Care will
also be taken to ensure that the visual amenities of the Green Belt
are not injured by development within it (Policy EN5 Structure Plan).
In this case, whilst the site has been used as a petrol filling station
the proposal involves the provision of an open vehicle display area on
the forecourt in an area where the long term storage of vehicles has
been restricted in the past.  As such the open storage of vehicles
would detract from the openness of this part of the Green Belt and the
visual amenities of the area by extending the limits of open vehicle
storage on the site and this is not an appropriate use in the Green
Belt.  The Local Planning Authority are not satisfied that any very
special circumstances exist to justify setting aside the policies and
objectives.
