Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 8th September 1999
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the development is contrary to the General, Countryside/Environmental
and Recreational policies of the OCC Structure Plan, particularly
policies G1, EN1 and EN4 and the Council's South Oxfordshire Local
Plan particularly, policies G1, C1, C2 and R4.  Having regard to the
provision of portacabins and permanent structures associated with the
paintball games, to the disturbance and level of activity associated
with the use in this quiet woodland area within the Chilterns Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty, the proposal results in an incongruous
and unacceptable form of development, detracting from the visual
amenity and quiet countryside character of the area.
That the local road network is, by way of its geometry, unsuitable
to serve the development and would result in unacceptable levels of
congestion detrimental to the free flow of traffic.
