Why it was refused
- Condition 3 The applicant has failed to supply full design details of any waste bins and bin stores, or their positioning, including details of how the waste will be stored whilst awaiting collection. It is therefore not possible to determine whether the development would result in harm to the visual amenities of the area, contrary to Policies ESD13 and ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011- 2031 Part 1, Policy C28 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.
