Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 18th December 1998
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That policy S3 of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan states that within the primary shopping frontages in Henley-on-Thames the change of use of a shop (Class A1) to a non-shop use will not be permitted if it would undermine the vitality and viability, and the dominant retailing character and function, of the primary shopping frontage. The concentration of shop uses in this central area of the prime shopping frontage is important in maintaining the dominant retailing character and function in Henley-on-Thames town centre, having regard to the high degree of penetration of non-shop uses into all the primary shopping frontages defined in the Local Plan Proposals Map. The development would, therefore, be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan in that the loss of Class A1 shopping floorspace would undermine the dominant retailing character and function of the town centre, contrary to policy S3.
Appeal
No appeal lodged.
