Minutes:
The Committee considered application 22/02493/F for the erection of 4 no. residential dwellings (Class C3) with additional parking, access and landscaping at Car parking Area West of 37 Holm Way, Bicester for LCP Estates Ltd.
David Rigby, a local resident, addressed the Committee in objection to the application.
Henry Courtier, agent for the applicant and Melanie Dobson, Transport Consultant to the applicant, addressed the Committee in support of this application.
In reaching its decision, the Committee considered the officers report, presentation, the written update and addresses of the public speakers.
Resolved
That application 22/02493/F be refused for the following reasons:
1. The loss of the public car park would result in an increased demand for on-street parking provision that cannot be safely or realistically accommodated within the vicinity of the site, resulting in significant harm to highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SLE4 and ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. Adequate pedestrian and vehicular vision splays from the off-street parking areas serving the proposed dwellings have not been demonstrated. In the absence of the required vision splays the proposal has the potential to cause significant harm to highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SLE4 and ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
