Refused reasons to be set out in the minutes.

The committee considered application 16/00053/F for the residential development of 99 dwellings (Use Class C3), together with parking, public open space, landscaping and associated infrastructure.

David Rogers, on behalf of Deddington Parish Council, addressed the committee in objection to the application.

Kathryn Young, the agent to the applicant, addressed the committee in support to the application.

Councillor Kerford-Byrnes proposed that application 16/00053/F be refused on the grounds of detrimental harm to the landscape and design of the village. Councillor Milne Home seconded the proposal.

In reaching their decision, the committee considered the officers report, presentation and the address of the public speakers.

Resolved

That application 16/00053/F be refused for the following reasons:

1                The development proposed by reason of its scale, layout and design, taking into account Cherwell District's ability to demonstrate an up to date housing land supply is considered to be an overdevelopment of the site which would be out of keeping with the existing adjacent development and the character of Deddington Village as a whole, and cause harm to the rural setting and approach into the village. The proposal is therefore considered unacceptable and contrary to Policies ESD13 and ESD15 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 and saved Policies C28 and C30 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan 1996 and the advice within the National Planning Policy Framework.

2                In the absence of a satisfactory Planning Obligation, the Local Planning Authority is not convinced that the necessary infrastructure directly required as a result of this development, including affordable housing will be delivered. This would be contrary to INF1 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 and the advice within the National Planning Policy Framework.

Approved subject to various requirements to be set out in the minutes.
