Planning Application Details

That the development would be contrary to the general, environmental/ countryside and housing policies of the adopted Oxfordshire Structure Plan 2011, particularly policies G1, G2, EN4 and H1 and the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies G1, G5, G8, C2 and H6. The proposal would result in an undesirable consolidation of development on the edge of the village which would detract from the character and visual amenity of the locality which lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. That the development would result in the intensification of use of a substandard access, lacking adequate visibility which would be detrimental to the safety and convenience of users of the public highway. The proposal also fails to provide a layout that would result in the safe and convenient circulation of vehicles. As such the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, especially policy G10. That having regard to their excessive size and bulk, to their inappropriate details of design and to the site layout, the proposal would result in a suburban form of development with the houses being poorly related to both each other and to the character of the surrounding area. As such the proposal would result in an inappropriate form of development in this rural location which lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The development would therefore be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies G5, G8, C2 and H6.
