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

Resolved

1.            The development to which this permission relates shall be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.

3.            Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, samples of the slate and timber, including colour/finish, to be used in the construction of the walls and roof of the car port shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  Thereafter, the development shall be carried out fully in accordance with the samples so approved.

The Committee considered application 16/01078/F for alterations to include an extension and basement (revised scheme of 15/01895/F) at Orchard Way, Heyford Road, Somerton, OX25 6LL for Cadmonkies.

Councillor Kerford-Byrnes proposed that item 16/01078/F be deferred to enable further hydrological and services issues to be investigated. Councillor Woodcock seconded the proposal.

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

Resolved

That application 16/01078/F be deferred to enable further hydrological and services issues to be investigated.

Refused (NB. Application currently subject of a non-determination appeal, therefore the decision is an agreed resolution rather than a determination. The Committee would therefore have resolved to refuse the application for the reasons to be set out in the minutes and this decision will be forwarded to the Planning Inspector)

The Committee considered application 16/00002/F for alterations and a two storey extension to form an enlarged dwelling house at Sundown, Crowcastle Lane, Kirtlington, Kidlington, OX5 3HP for Mr and Mrs D and N Perry.

The application was before the Committee to agree a resolution rather than make a determination as the application was currently the subject of a non-determination appeal.  The decision which the Committee resolves it would have made will then be forwarded to the Planning Inspector.

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

Resolved

That it be resolved that had the application 16/00002/F been before the Planning Committee for determination, Members would have refused the planning application for the following reason:

By reason of its scale, form, design and siting, the proposed development would result in significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area, and therefore fails to accord with saved Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996 and Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1, along with chapter 7 of the National Planning Policy Framework on design, in particular paragraphs 57, 58 and 61.
