The Committee considered application 13/00656/OUT, an outline application for up to 300 dwellings with access from Warwick Road together with associated open space, allotments and a 500 sqm retail store

Councillor Douglas Webb addressed the Committee as local ward member.

Mr Nicholas Turner, a local resident, addressed the Committee in objection to the application.

Steven Brown, agent for the applicant, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

In reaching their decision the Committee considered the officers’ report, written update and presentation and the addresses of the ward member and public speakers.

Resolved

(a)          That in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 24 of the Town & Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 the report be accepted as setting out the main reasons, considerations and measures of mitigation proposed with regard to the ES.

(b)          That application 13/00656/OUT be refused for the following reasons:

(1)          The proposal represents development beyond the built up limits of Banbury in an area of countryside and is not allocated for development by either the saved policies of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan 1996 or those of the Non-Statutory Cherwell Local Plan 2011 nor is the application site proposed for development as a strategic housing allocation in the Proposed Submission Local Plan March 2013. The land is proposed to be included within the Banbury Green Buffer, the purposes of which are to maintain Banbury’s distinctive identity and setting and its neighbouring settlements, prevent coalescence, protect the identity of valued features of landscape & historic value and important views.  It is considered that given the Council’s ability to identify a supply of specific, deliverable sites sufficient to provide 5 years worth of housing against its housing requirements with an additional buffer, the proposal represents sporadic development in the countryside which fails to maintain its rural character and appearance and which fails to conserve and enhance the environment and furthermore fails to meet the Council’s objectives to meet housing need in a way that is in line with the spatial vision for the area. The application is, therefore, contrary to Policies H18, C8 and C15 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan, Policy ESD15: Green Boundaries to Growth of the Proposed Submission Local Plan March 2013 and Government guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

(2)          In the absence of a detailed design, the Local Planning Authority is not convinced that the erection of a 20m high net along approx. 200m of the western boundary of the site will not have adverse landscape impact, detrimental to the amenity of the locality.  Furthermore, without satisfactory mitigation to prevent ball escape from the adjacent Drayton Leisure Golf Centre into the site, the proposal would result in an incompatibility of land uses that would cause harm to the amenities and safety of occupiers of the proposed development contrary to Policy C7, C13 and C31 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan and Government guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
