Conditions / Refusal Reasons
Policy S1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan states that the existing
shopping centres of the four largest towns in the District, including
Wallingford, will be maintained and enhanced.  The retail function is the
main activity in Wallingford town centre and is vital in maintaining the
economic viability of the centre.  The South Oxfordshire Shopping
Study (1994) identifies high quality and specialist retailing in comparison
goods as an important element of retail trade in the town.  High Street
has developed a concentration of high quality and specialist retailers,
especially in the antiques trade, and this concentration attracts customers
and is beneficial to all the traders in the street.  The loss of the shop
unit at 20 High Street would diminish the attractiveness of the street as
a destination for high quality and specialist retailing, diminish the
important retail function of Wallingford town centre and thereby not serve
to maintain and enhance the shopping centre.  As such, the proposed
development would be contrary to Policy S1.
