Holly Tree Farm Hornton Lane Horley Oxfordshire OX15 6BJ

1. 1.Condition 3 The condition requires, within two months of the date of the listed building consent, for photographs of the eaves taken internally to be submitted to the local planning authority. This condition was imposed because the details submitted prior to the determination of the listed building consent application were insufficient to show that the development is acceptable, but the local planning authority was confident that the details could and would be submitted and accordingly that it was appropriate to impose the condition rather than refuse the listed building consent application. Unfortunately, the photographic record required by the condition has not been submitted, and the requirements of the condition have not been met. As such, it has not been demonstrated that the completed development is in keeping with and conserves the special character of the existing historic building and the development therefore fails to comply with Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 Part 1, saved Policy C18 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.
