Planning Application Details

That the use of the land for the purposes of storage of materials represents an unacceptable expansion of an industrial activity on the edge of Checkendon village into open agricultural land within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As such, the development neither preserves nor enhances the character and landscape quality of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and adversely affects the attractive rural setting of this village and is thereby contrary to policies C1, C2, E1, E3 and E6 of the Council's South Oxfordshire Local Plan. That the use of the land for the stacking of materials on this land has an adverse effect upon views out of the Checkendon Conservation Area which formerly were of open countryside. As such the extension of this industrial activity is contrary to Policy Con 15 of the Council's South Oxfordshire Local Plan which seeks to avoid development which has an adverse effect upon the setting of a conservation area. That the use of land creates undue noise and disturbance to the occupiers of nearby residential properties.
