Resolved

That, in line with the officer’s recommendation, application 23/00977/OUT be delegated to the Assistant Director for Planning and Development to approve subject to the conditions set out below (and any amendments to those conditions as deemed necessary) and the completion of a planning obligation under Section 106 of the town and country planning act 1990, as substituted by the Planning and compensation act 1991, necessary mitigation as set out in the annex to the Minutes, as set out in the Minute book (and any amendments deemed necessary).

It was further resolved that if the Section 106 agreement/undertaking was not completed by 5 April 2024 and the permission was not able to be issued by this date and no extension of time had been agreed between the parties, the Assistant for Planning and Development be given delegated authority to refuse the application for the following reason:

1.         In the absence of a satisfactory unilateral undertaking or any other form of Section 106 legal agreement the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the proposed development provides for appropriate infrastructure required as a result of the development and necessary to make the impacts of the development acceptable in planning terms, to the detriment of both existing and proposed residents and contrary to Policy INF1 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031, CDC Planning Obligations SPD 2018 and Government guidance within the NPPF. 

Conditions

1.         No development shall commence until full details of the layout (including the layout of the internal access roads and footpaths), scale, appearance, and landscaping (hereafter referred to as reserved matters) have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: This permission is in outline only and is granted to comply with the provisions of Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2.         In the case of the reserved matters, the final application for approval shall be made not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.

Refused, in line with the officer recommendation, reasons to be set out in the minutes.

The Committee considered application 23/03428/OUT, an outline planning application for the construction of up to 140,000 sqm of employment floorspace (use class B8) with ancillary offices and facilities and servicing and infrastructure including new site accesses, internal roads and footpaths, landscaping including earthworks to create development platforms and bunds, drainage features and other associated works including demolition of the existing farmhouse at OS Parcel 7921 South Of Huscote Farm And North West Of County Boundary Daventry Road Banbury for Greystoke CB.

Rob Kinchin-Smith, on behalf of Banbury Civic Society, CPRE Oxfordshire and Farthinghoe Parish Council, addressed the Committee in objection to the application.

David Hutchison, on behalf of the agent for the applicant, Pegasus Planning Group, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

In reaching its decision the Committee considered the officers report and presentation, written updates and the addresses from the public speakers.

Resolved

The, in line with the officer’s recommendation, application 23/03428/OUT, be refused for the following reasons:

1.         The proposal is located on an unallocated site and development would represent an urbanising form of development which by reason of its location and proposed land use would result in a cluster of large warehouse buildings poorly related to Banbury that would result in a harmful visual intrusion of development into the landscape and open countryside and would therefore result in harm to the rural character, appearance and quality of the area. This identified harm would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal. Development would therefore fail to accord with Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 policies ESD10, ESD13 and ESD15 and Cherwell Local Plan 1996 saved policies C7, C8 and EMP4, and with national policy guidance given in the National Planning Policy Framework.

2.         The proposed development would be sited in a geographically unsustainable location with poor access to services and facilities and therefore future employees would be highly reliant on the private car to access their workplace, which would not reduce the need to travel and would result in increased car journeys and hence carbon emissions. The proposed development would therefore conflict with policies PSD1, SLE4 and ESD1 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 and Government guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework. This identified harm would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits associated with the proposed development and therefore the development does not constitute sustainable development when assessed against the National Planning Policy Framework as a whole.

3.         The application site is located in an unsustainable location for cycling and walking. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies SLE1 and SLE4 contained within the Cherwell Local Plan 2011- 2031 Part 1 (CLP 2031 Part 1), saved policy TR1 contained within the Cherwell Local Plan 1996 (CLP 1996) and Government guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework.

4.         The proximity of the access roundabout to M40 Junction 11 is likely to lead to severe congestion and potential safety issues arising from queuing on the M40 off slip. The proposal is therefore  ...  view the full minutes text for item 119.

Refused, against officer recommendation. Reasons to be set out in the minutes.

The Committee considered application 23/02071/F for a new build dwelling at land to the rear Of Wheelwright Cottage Main Street North Newington for Mr Kambiz Khabiri.

Susia Barnes, local resident, addressed the Committee in objection to the application.

In reaching its decision the Committee considered the officers report and presentation, addresses from the public speakers and the written updates.

Contrary to the officers’ recommendation, it was proposed by Councillor Webb and seconded by Councillor Reynolds that application 23/02071/F be refused, for the following reasons (wording of refusal reasons delegated to officers)

1.         The proposed development is not an infill development or a conversion. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the Council’s housing strategy.

2.         The development would result in overdevelopment of the site and inappropriate development in the location and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would adversely affect the living conditions of neighbours. This would be contrary Policies ESD15 and Villages 1 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031, saved Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

3.         The application failed to demonstrate the proposed dwelling would be served by a satisfactory vehicular access and would therefore result in parking being displaced to the public highway contrary to Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

Resolved

That, contract to the officer’s recommendation, application 23/03109/F be refused for the following reasons:

1.         By reason of its siting and its spatial relationship to surrounding development, the proposed development would not be infill development and by reason of its nature the proposed development is not a conversion. New residential development is only permitted at North Newington where it comprises conversion or appropriate infilling. The proposal therefore conflicts with the Council’s housing strategy. In addition, by reason of its scale and siting, the proposal would result in overdevelopment of the site and inappropriate development in this location and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would adversely affect the living conditions of neighbours. The identified harm, which in the case of that caused to the Conservation Area is less than substantial, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the proposal’s benefits. The proposal thus fails to accord with Policies ESD15 and Villages 1 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031, saved Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

2.         The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed dwelling would be served by a satisfactory vehicular access. As such the proposed development cannot provide accessible onplot parking and would therefore result in parking being displaced to the public highway. The local area already suffers from a lack of availability of suitable on-street parking. The additional on-street parking and the need to accommodate servicing and delivery vehicles associated with proposed dwelling would lead to  ...  view the full minutes text for item 120.

Approved, against officer recommendation, subject to conditions and S106 legal agreement, details to be set out minutes.

The Committee considered application 23/02682/F for the erection of a single dwelling with associated landscaping and a new vehicular entrance onto existing access at land adjacent to the Old Manor House, 7 The Green, Shutford, OX15 6PJ for Ms Clinton.

Matt Chadwick, on behalf of the agent for the applicant, JPPC, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

In reaching its decision the Committee considered the officers’ report, presentation, addresses from the public speakers and the written updates.

The Committee considered application 21/01854/F, which sought consent for work at DCS Group UK Ltd, Oceans House, Noral Way, Banbury OX16 2AA, following the grant of permission for the erection of a warehouse extension, relocation of lorry park and driver’s amenity building, together with associated external works.
