Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the development would be contrary to the general, environmental/
countryside and housing policies of the approved Structure Plan for
Oxfordshire, particularly policies G1, EN1 and EN4, and the Council's
adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies G1, G5, C2
and H6. The proposal would result in the formation of a self-contained
residential unit in the grounds of the existing dwelling, which itself
lies in a scatter of development at Lower Assendon. As such it would
result in an intensification of sporadic development in the countryside,
detrimental to the character and appearance of the locality which
lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The
statement accompanying the application does not justify any departure
from the policies of the Local Planning Authority.
