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, G2, G5, EN1, EN4, EN8 and H1,
and the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly
policies G1, G5, C2, C6, H6, CON8, CON10 and CON15. The erection of
a dwelling on this backland site, together with the provision of a
means of access, would result in an undesirable consolidation of
the existing scattered development in the countryside causing harm
to the rural character and appearance to this part of the Chilterns
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Furthermore the proposal would
fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the
Checkendon Conservation Area.
