Refused reasons to be set out in the minutes

The Committee considered application 18/00098/F for the conversion of an existing barn and associated out-building/stables to residential use including raising the roof of out-building/stables by 860mm and a new single storey extension to rear with living roof at Park Farm Agricultural Barn, New Street, Deddington for Mr & Mrs Bryn Williams.

Councillor Brown addressed the committee as Ward Member. This address also covered the subsequent application 18/00099/LB.

Richard Court, the applicant’s architect, addressed the committee in support of the application. This address also covered the subsequent application 18/00099/LB.

In reaching their decision the committee considered the officers’ report, presentation and address of the Ward member and public speaker.

Resolved

That application 18/00098/F be refused for the following reason:

1.            The proposals, by virtue of their siting, scale and design, would result in incongruous additions to this simple arrangement of traditional buildings of agricultural character and would result in significant and demonstrable harm to the special character and historic significance of the listed building, the setting of adjacent grade II listed building and the setting of the surrounding Deddington Conservation Area. The less than substantial harm caused is clear, significant and demonstrable and is not outweighed by the proposal's benefits. The proposals therefore conflict with saved Policies H21, C21, C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996, Policy ESD 15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1, and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
