Decision:

Approved in line with officer recommendation, subject to conditions (and any amendments as deemed necessary) and completion of a S106 legal agreement, details to be set out in the minutes.

Minutes:

The Committee considered application 25/01545/OUT, for outline planning application for up to 150 dwellings and associated open space with All Matters Reserved other than access, at Land at Hanwell Fields Dukes Meadow Drive

Banbury, for Manor Oak Homes and Mr and Mrs Donger.

 

Alex Munro, agent on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

 

It was proposed by Councillor Brant and seconded by Councillor Webb that application 25/01545/OUT be refused against officer recommendation, as it was not land allocated within the Local Plan, would exacerbate the coalescence of Hanwell village and Banbury town, cause undue visual harm to the local area, and would contribute to the loss of G2/3 agricultural land and impact on biodiversity. 

 

The proposal was debated and on being put to the vote the motion was lost and therefore fell.  

 

It was proposed by Councillor Conway and seconded by Councillor Watkins that application 25/01545/OUT be approved, in line with the officer recommendation.

 

In reaching its decision the Committee considered the officer’s report and presentation, public speakers and the written updates.
