Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 12th November 1997
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to the financial estimates accompanying the
application, the cost of renovation of the existing property, Herons
Reach North, would not be uneconomic.  In addition, having regard to
its excessive size and bulk, the proposed replacement dwelling would
represent a more intrusive dwelling than the existing property and,
as such, would be a prominent form of development in this riverside
location beyond the strict built-up limits of Whitchurch-on-Thames
which would be detrimental to the rural character and appearance of
this part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the
Approved Structure Plan for Oxfordshire, particularly policies EN1
and EN4, and the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan,
particularly policies G1, G5, C2 and H16.

Appeal
