Approved, subject to conditions

The Committee considered a report for the demolition of the existing detached building (residential and retail use) and construction of new building incorporating 3 No. retail units and 1 No. 2 storey dwelling and 5 No. flats with parking and amenity space.

Chris Pack spoke in objection to the application as a member of Kidlington Parish Council.

Members of the Committee raised concerns that the proposals constituted overdevelopment. The Committee considered highway safety issues and noted that the Highways Authority had raised no objections.

Councillor Billington proposed that that the application be refused. Councillor Clarke seconded the proposal. The proposal was voted on and subsequently lost.

Councillor Stevens proposed that the application be approved. Councillor Pickford seconded the proposal.

In reaching their decision, the Committee considered the Officers’ report, presentation and written update and the address of the public speaker.
