Issue - meetings

Refused in line with the officer recommendation, reasons to be set out in the minutes.

The Committee considered application 23/01303/F for the erection of a single dwelling, detached garage and construction of new vehicular access at Scrapyard, Bunkers Hill, Shipton on Cherwell for Evans Exports Ltd.

Henry Venners, on behalf of the agent for the applicant, JPPC, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

In reaching its decision the Committee considered the officers’ report, presentation and address from the public speaker.

Resolved

That, in line with the officer’s recommendation, application 23/01303/F be refused for the following reason.

1.         The proposal constitutes residential development in the open countryside, beyond the built-up limits of a settlement, for which it has not been demonstrated that there is an essential need. The dwelling would therefore be an unjustified and unsustainable form of development. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies ESD1, BSC1 and Villages 1 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1, Policy H18 of Cherwell Local Plan 1996, and Government guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework.
