Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the development is contrary to the General, Countryside and
Employment policies of the Council's South Oxfordshire Local Plan,
particularly policies G1, G8, C1, C2 and E6 in that the use of
extensive areas outside of any building on the site for the display
and sale of vehicles results in an intrusive and inappropriate form of
development in this generally open and attractive location within the
Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As such, the use is not
of a scale and type appropriate to its surroundings and neither
preserves nor enhances the natural beauty or special landscape character
of the area.
That the site adjoins a busy class A road where traffic is busy and
fast moving. The display of vehicles for sale on the forecourt would
cause a distraction to the highway users and would thereby, be
detrimental to the safety of useres of the public highway.
That the proposal fails to make adequate provision within the site
for the parking of vehicle transporters, thereby resulting in such
vehicles parking on the road to the detriment of the users of the
highway and contrary to policy G11 of the Council's adopted South
Oxfordshire Local Plan.
