Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed development would provide a satisfactory environment free from intrusive levels of noise and to comply with Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1, Saved Policy ENV1 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework. The Council’s Environmental Health Officer comments: There is insufficient information to discharge the above condition, due to the location of the development on the busy road (A361). A noise report will be required to demonstrate that a satisfactory environment free from intrusive levels of noise are achieved to comply with […] Policy ENV1 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework. The applicant is referred to Condition 15 of the planning permission for further details of what is required. In accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Cherwell Council has given consideration to whether amendments or additional information would overcome its concerns with the application, but unfortunately it has concluded that it would not be possible to resolve those concerns within the scope and timescales of this application. Cherwell Council has resolved that the application proposals do not amount to sustainable development and consent must accordingly be refused. The case officer’s report and recommendation in respect of this application provides a detailed assessment of the merits of the application when considered against current planning policy and guidance, including consideration of the issues raised by the comments received from consultees and members of the public.
