14/01675/OUT |
Additional documents:
Decision: Refused reasons to be set out in the minutes. Minutes: The committee considered application 14/01675/OUT, an outline application for the erection of up to 53,000 sqm of floor space to be for B8 and B2 with ancillary B1 (use classes) employment provision within two employment zones covering an area of 9.45ha; parking and service areas to serve the employment zones; a new access off the Middleton Stoney Road (B4030); temporary access of Howes Lane pending the delivery of the realigned Howes Lane; 4.5ha of residential land; internal roads, paths and cycleways; landscaping including strategic green infrastructure (G1); provision of sustainable urban systems (suds) incorporating landscaped areas with balancing ponds and swales and associated utilities and infrastructure, at OS Parcel 4200 adjoining and north east of A4095 and adjoining and south west of Howes Lane, Bicester for Albion Land Ltd.
Councillor Les Sibley (as a member of the public as the application fell outside of the boundary of the ward he represented) and Catherine Fulljames addressed the committee in objection to the application.
Peter Frampton, agent for the applicant, addressed the committee in support to the application.
Councillor Pratt proposed that application 14/01675/OUT be refused. Councillor Mould seconded the proposal.
In reaching their decision, the committee considered the officers report, presentation, written update and the addresses of the public speakers.
Resolved
That application 14/01675/OUT be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposed employment uses, at 70% B8 and 30% B2 floor space, does not comply with Policy Bicester 1 of the Adopted Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 which states that the use classes sought across the North West Bicester site will be B1 with limited B2 and B8 uses. The proposed employment uses are not predominantly B1 and would provide lower employment levels than employment predominantly within Use Class B1. Additionally, the resulting scale, height and appearance of development from such a use class split, as established by the parameter plans submitted with the application, would be unacceptable in terms of the impact of the proposal upon the landscape, the visual amenities of the area and the amenity of neighbouring properties by virtue of being obtrusive and out of keeping with the predominantly residential character of the existing town and the development planned by the Masterplan for North West Bicester. The proposal is therefore not considered to be sustainable development and is contrary to Policies Bicester 1, SLE 1, ESD13 and ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031, Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996, the National Planning Policy Framework and the North West Bicester Supplementary Planning Document.
2. By reason of a lack of a satisfactory completed S106 legal agreement to ensure that the development adequately mitigates its impact on community infrastructure, site wide infrastructure and secures the provision of affordable housing, the local planning authority cannot be satisfied that the impacts of the development in this respect can be made acceptable. In addition, the application provides insufficient information in respect of the detail relating to the Howes Lane temporary access, the provision of Green Infrastructure, the ... view the full minutes text for item 22. |

16/00619/F |
Land West Of Horn Hill Road, Adderbury Additional documents:
Decision: Refused reasons to be set out in the minutes. Minutes: The Committee considered application 16/00619/F for the residential development of a single dwelling with associated landscaping and land for an extension to the existing village burial ground for Land West of Horn Hill Road, Adderbury for Mr M Gough. The application was a resubmission of 15/01048/F.
Nigel Wood, on behalf of Adderbury Conversation Action Group, addressed the committee in objection to the application.
Ann Lyons, on behalf of Adderbury Parish Council and Jonathan Porter, the applicant’s agent addressed the committee in support of the application.
In reaching their decision, the committee considered the officers’ report, presentation, written update and the addresses of the public speakers.
Resolved
That application 16/00619/F be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposed dwelling constitutes sporadic development beyond the built up limits of the Adderbury and, in the absence of an appropriate justification, conflicts with saved Policy H18 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996, and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework. Furthermore by virtue of its siting, scale and design, the proposed dwelling would cause harm to the intrinsic value of the open countryside and rural character, by intrusion into such, which would fail to reflect or reinforce local distinctiveness and existing settlement pattern or preserve the natural environment at this location. The proposals would therefore be contrary to saved Policies H18, C8, C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996, Policies Villages 1, ESD 13 and ESD 15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. Insufficient information has been submitted in relation to the proposed burial site in terms of land levels and ground conditions to clearly establish whether the land is suitable for use as a burial site or whether its use as such would likely cause a risk of groundwater pollution. The proposals would therefore be contrary to the provisions and aims of Policy ENV1 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996, Policy ESD 8 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
