Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 5th August 1998
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposal would be contrary to the adopted South Oxfordshire Local
Plan. Planning permission will not normally be granted for new
housing in the countryside or in hamlets (Policy H6). In Conservation
Areas and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty the Council will seek to
ensure that the character of the area is either preserved or enhanced
and that the design and scale of any new development is in sympathy
with the area (Policies CON8, CON10 and C2). In this case, the site
largely comprises an open undeveloped area within the Gatehampton
Conservation Area, an isolated hamlet within the Chilterns Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whilst the proposals involve the
removal of some buildings, this is insufficient reason to justify
granting permission for a substantial and visually undistinguished
building in this hamlet, which would be contrary to the housing
policies of the Council and be detrimental to the character and
landscape of this part of the Gatehampton Conservation Area and
Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
