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

The Committee considered application 23/03368/F for a first-floor extension with associated internal and external work (follow-up to 23/01073/F) at 73 High Street, Kidlington, OX5 2DN for Mr and Mrs R Parshad.

Councillor Dorothy Walker addressed the Committee as Local Ward Member.

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

It was proposed by Councillor McLean and seconded by Councillor Chapman that application 23/03368/F be refused due the heritage impact of the development and it was contrary to policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1, Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996 and the Kidlington Masterplan.

Resolved

That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, application 23/03368 be refused for the following reason:

1.         The extension, by virtue of its size, scale and form, has an adverse impact on the character, appearance and significance of the application property, which is considered to be a non-designated heritage asset. The proposal therefore runs contrary to Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1, Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996, The Kidlington Masterplan 2016 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
