Refused, contrary to the officer recommendation, reasons to be set out in the minutes

The Committee considered application 21/01561/F for the erection of one detached dwelling and a detached garage at Allotment Gardens, West of the Roebuck Inn and South East of The Blinking Owl Public House, Banbury Road North Newington, OX15 6AB for Mr Christopher McNally.

Susie Barnes, Local Resident, addressed the Committee in objection to the application.

It was proposed by Councillor Reynolds and seconded by Councillor Webb that application 21/01561/F be refused, contrary to the officer recommendations due to access near a bend in the road in a congested area causing highway safety concerns and the introduction of a new build in a dominating, elevated position in a conservation area with listed buildings.

In reaching its decision the Committee considered the officers report and presentation, and the address of the public speaker.

Resolved

(1)      That application 21/01561/F be refused, contrary to the officer’s recommendations due to the access being near a bend in the road in an already congested area causing highway safety concerns and the introduction of a new build in a dominating, elevated position in a conservation area with listed buildings.  The exact wording of the reason for refusal be delegated to the Assistant Director for Planning and Development.
