Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 30th June 1999
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That policy S1 of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan
states that the existing shopping centres of the towns and larger
villages in the district will be maintained and enhanced.  The retail
function is the main activity in Watlington village centre and underpins
the economic viability of the centre.  High quality and specialist
retailing in comparison goods, including antiques, is an important
element of the retail trade in Watlington.  The loss of a large shop
as proposed would diminish the attractiveness of Watlington as a
destination for speciality comparison shopping, diminish the important
retail function of the village centre and thereby would not serve
to maintain and enhance the shopping centre.  Therefore the development
is contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire
Local Plan, particularly policy S1.
