Phase 2 SW Bicester Parcel 7849 North of Whitelands Farm Adjoining Middleton Stoney Road, Bicester pdf icon PDF 382 KB

Additional documents:

Decision:

Deferred, reasons to be set out in the minutes.

Minutes:

The Committee considered application13/00847/OUT, an outline application for a residential development within Use Class C3, Extra Care facility, Primary School, retail, formal and informal public open space, play facilities, sports pitches, allotments and associated infrastructure including landscaping, highways, footpaths/cycleways, drainage utilities and parking.

 

In reaching their decision, the Committee considered the officer’s report, written update and presentation.

 

Resolved

 

That application13/00847/OUT be deferred, due to concerns regarding the location and safety implications of the proposed public open space outside the development across Vendee drive, concerns that a public right of way is shown through the allotments creating security issues and that no contribution towards indoor sports had been made due to the lack of perceived need despite the increased pressure this would place on Bicester Leisure Centre.

Land adjacent and north of St. Swithun's Church, Merton pdf icon PDF 175 KB

Additional documents:

Decision:

Refused, reasons to be set out in the minutes.

Minutes:

The committee considered application 13/01873/OUT, outline application for a residential development of up to 9 dwellings.

 

Ian Mills and Carl Evans, local residents, addressed the Committee in objection to the application.

 

Mr Bagshaw, the agent, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

 

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

 

Resolved

 

That application 13/01873/OUT be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.       Notwithstanding the Council's present inability to demonstrate that it has a 5 year supply of housing land required by Paragraph 47 of the NPPF, the development of this site cannot be justified on the basis of the land supply shortfall alone. The proposal represents unsustainable development beyond the built up limits of Merton with no case being made for its consideration as a rural exception site or other essential undertaking. As the proposal cannot be justified on the basis of an identified need in an unsustainable location, it represents development which encroaches into the open countryside and causes demonstrable harm to the setting and significance of designated Heritage Asset, the Grade I listed St. Swithun’s Church contrary to Paragraph 14 of the NPPF and also the enjoyment of the footpath that runs across the site by the public. It also fails to maintain the rural character and appearance of the area and to conserve, enhance and respect the environment and historic settlement pattern by introducing an incongruous, prominent, urbanising and discordant built form of development into this rural setting, injurious to its character and appearance and would also risk further harm to the character of this area which could arise from the precedent that may set. The application is, therefore, contrary to Policies H18, C7, C8, C27 and C30 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan, Policies ESD13 & ESD16 and Villages 1 of the Submission Local Plan January 2014 and Government guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

2.       The proposal would result in the residential development of land in an unsuitable backland position served by an access way between and behind residential dwellings, which is out of keeping with and causes harm to the existing residential form and character of the area. Furthermore, the development would be detrimental to the amenities of the adjacent residential properties by reason of the introduction of increased vehicular activity in an otherwise quiet and tranquil environment. The proposal is therefore contrary to the Policies C27, C30 and C31 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan and Policy ESD16 of the Submission Cherwell Local Plan and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

3.       In the absence of a satisfactory planning obligation, the Local Planning Authority is not convinced that the affordable housing directly required as part of this scheme will be provided. This would be contrary to the Policy H5 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan, Policy INF1 of the Submission Cherwell Local Plan and government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

OS Parcel North of Adderbury Court, Oxford Road, Adderbury pdf icon PDF 164 KB

Additional documents:

Decision:

Refused, reasons to be set out in the minutes.

Minutes:

The committee considered application 14/00351/F, application for a proposed residential development of 25 units.

 

James Shuttleworth, agent for the applicant, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

 

In reaching their decision, the Committee considered the officers’ report and presentation and the presentations of the public speakers.

 

Resolved

 

That application 14/00351/F be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.                  Notwithstanding the Council's present inability to demonstrate that it has a 5 year supply of housing land required by Paragraph 47 of the NPPF, the development of this site cannot be justified on the basis of the land supply shortfall alone. The proposal represents unsustainable development beyond the built up limits of Adderbury with no case being made for its consideration as a rural exception site or other essential undertaking. As the proposal cannot be justified on the basis of an identified need in an unsustainable location, it represents development which encroaches into the open countryside which fails to maintain the landscape’s 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, C7 and C8 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan and Policies ESD13 & ESD16 and Villages 1 of the Submission Local Plan January 2014 and Government guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

2.                  The site forms part of an Area of High Landscape Value and is prominently located adjacent to public rights of way. It is considered that the development of this site for a housing scheme would have a harmful impact on an important part of the open countryside and would cause harm to the rural landscape setting of the village and would reduce the amenity value afforded from the existing Rights of Way. The proposal is considered, therefore, to be contrary to saved Policies C7 and C13 of the adopted Local Plan and Policies ESD13, ESD15, ESD16 and ESD18 of the Submission Local Plan January 2014 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.

 

3.                  The proposed site layout, design and mix of the proposed dwellings are considered to represent a form of development that does not reinforce and enhance the character of the village or provide affordable housing in accordance with the housing needs of the village. Furthermore the proposed Local Area of Play is not acceptable in terms of its size or location to allow sufficient natural surveillance. The resultant development would not create a high quality built environment nor would it reinforce local distinctiveness. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies H5, R12, C28 and C30 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan and Policies BSC3, ESD13 & ESD16 of the Submission Local Plan January 2014 Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.
