Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 27th January 1998
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed development would be contrary to the provisions of the
Oxfordshire Structure Plan which seeks to restrain development outside
the Country towns (G1); to protect the environment from potentially
harmful development (EN1); and to restrict development in the Green
Belt to agricultural, forestry or recreational purposes only (EN5).
The proposal is not intended for any of these purposes and there is
no evidence of any overriding need which would justify a departure
from the planning policies of the Local Planning Authority.
The proposed development would be contrary to the provisions of the
adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan which seeks to restrain overall
levels of development (SOLP G1) particularly in the Green Belt where
there is a general presumption against new development unless required
for agricultural or forestry purposes and within the open countryside
(SOLP G5 and H6). The proposed development is inappropriate in that it
is materially larger than the dwelling it replaces and is therefore
contrary to advice contained within paragraphs 3.2 and 3.6 of PPG2.
The proposed dwelling fails to meet the Local Planning Authority's
criteria for replacement dwellings outside the built-up areas of towns
and villages (SOLP H16) by reason of its excessive size and scale in
relation to the existing dwelling unit on this site. There are no
overriding reasons sufficient to justify the grant of planning
permission contrary to the planning policies of the Local Planning
Authority.
