Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the proposal would be contrary to policies G1, EN1, EN4 and H1 of the
Oxfordshire Structure Plan, policies G1, G2, EN1, EN5 and H1 of the
Oxfordshire Structure Plan (deposit draft) and policies G1, G5, C1, C3
and H6 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan. The erection of a dwelling
would consolidate the existing scatter of development in this part of
Tetsworth and constitute an undesirable extension of the limits of the
village into the rural countryside beyond.
The site lies within an area designated as an Area of Great Landscape
Value. The proposal would lead to isoldated development in the countryside
which would detract from the character and appearance of this open rural
landscape and be detrimental to the visual amenity of the locality.
The local road network is by way of geometry and visibility unsuitable
to serve additional development and is thereby contrary to Policy H11 of
the South Oxfordshire Local Plan.
