The Deddington Arms Horse Fair Deddington Oxfordshire OX15 0SH

1. 1.Condition 3 The submitted plans and information do not show sufficient space for the cycle parking and the cycle parking is uncovered. Specifically, less than 0.5m has been allowed for the two spaces in the west and the two spaces behind the car parking space. This location allows insufficient space for bicycles as well as insufficient space for manoeuvring out of the parking space. It is unclear how these spaces would be accessed if there are vehicles parked. The applicant is required to find alternative locations for covered cycle parking with adequate dimensions. In the absence of satisfactory cycle parking proposals the development does not provide sufficient choice of travel means for users and or residents of the development and is not sustainable development and it has not been demonstrated that the development would not adversely affect the character or appearance of the area or cause harm to heritage assets and the development is therefore contrary to Policies SLE4, ESD1 and ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1 and Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework. Condition 6 The applicant has not submitted an Air Quality Assessment or any assessment of odour and or the impact of the Deddington Arms Public House on residential dwellings at and or close to the site. It has therefore not been demonstrated that the development would safeguard the amenities of neighbouring and local residents with regard to odour. As such, the proposed development is contrary to 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. 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.

From the council's decision notice.
