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.

The Committee considered application 25/00591/OUT, an outline planning application (with all matters reserved apart from access) for a development comprising up to 50 dwellings (use class c3) and associated infrastructure including but not limited to sustainable urban drainage system, public open space, landscaping, habitat creation, internal roads/routes and upgrades to the public highway at land west of Sibford Road and Quarry House Sibford Road, Hook Norton for Ashberry Strategic Land and Christopher Gasson.

Liz Sparrow, on behalf of Hook Norton Parish Council, addressed the Committee in opposition of the application

Ben Ward, agent on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

It was proposed by Councillor Rogers and seconded by Councillor Harwood that application 25/00591/OUT be refused against officer recommendation, as the application would cause undue visual harm to the local area, and was contrary to policies ESD10, ESD13, ESD15 of the Local Plan.

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

It was subsequently proposed by Councillor Conway and seconded by Councillor Sibley that application 25/00591/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.
