Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the retention and use of the dwellings without compliance with the
occupancy conditions would be contrary to the provisions of the approved
Structure Plan for Oxfordshire, particularly policies G1, EN1, EN4 and
EN7, and the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly
policies G1, G5, H6, H15 and C2. These Plans seek to restrict isolated
residential development in the attractive open countryside within the
Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to that for which there is
a special need, such as an agricultural worker's dwelling or essential
staff accommodation for a Class C2 use. No justification has been
provided to indicate that the dwellings are no longer required to serve
the agricultural needs of the holding or the essential staffing needs of
the Class C2 use and, therefore, to warrant a departure from the planning
policies of the Local Planning Authority.
