Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 13th October 1999
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the proposal would result in the loss of a shop unit within the
primary shopping frontage of Henley-on-Thames which would undermine
the vitality and viability and the dominant retailing character and
function of the shopping centre of Henley-on-Thames. Therefore the
proposed change of use would be contrary to the provisions of the
Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policy
S3. No evidence has been provided to accompany the application to
demonstrate that 8 Bell Street is no longer viable as a retail unit
and therefore the Local Planning Authority sees no justification
for making an exception to its planning policies.
That, having regard to its inappropriate details of design and the poor
relationship between the shopfront and the upper floors of the building,
the proposal would detract from the appearance of the existing
building and would be detrimental to the character and visual amenity
of the Henley-on-Thames Conservation Area. As such the proposal
would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South
Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies CON8 and CON10.
