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, G5, EN1 and EN4, and the Council's
adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies G1, G5, C2 and
H6. The addition of a substantial extension to the existing modest annex
would result in the creation of a self contained residential unit capable
of independent occupation within the grounds of Oakridge Farm. As such it
would result in an intensification of sporadic development in the open
countryside and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of
this part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The
circumstances advanced by the applicant are not considered sufficient
to jutify a departure from the Council's adopted planning policies.
