Refusal of Planning Permission on 10th September 1997
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That Policy S3 of the Council's South Oxfordshire Local Plan states that
within the primary shopping frontages in Henley-on-Thames the change of use
of a shop (Class A1) to a non-shop use will not be permitted if it would
undermine the vitality and viability, and the dominant retailing character
and function, of the primary shopping frontage. The present concentration
of shop uses (Class A1) on the west side of Bell Street is important in
maintaining the dominant retailing character and function in Henley-on-
Thames town centre having regard to the high degree of penetration of non-
shop uses into all the primary shopping frontages defined on the Local
Plan's Henley Inset Proposals Map. The loss of part of the shop unit at
37-39 Bell Street to Class A3 use would undermine the dominant retailing
character and function of the town centre contrary to Policy S3. In this
case the loss of part of the shop unit would be particularly unfortunate
having regard to the dearth of large units in the town centre capable of
meeting the accommodation needs of modern retail operators and to the
location of this unit which is important in drawing pedestrian shoppers
northwards along Bell Street from the walkway which leads into Bell Street
from Kings Road car park.
