Brook Court Fencott Kidlington OX5 2RD

1. 1.The proposed extension, by reason of its siting, design and materials would harm the traditional form and appearance of the grade II listed barn conversion and results in less than substantial harm to the historic character, appearance and significance the grade II listed building and its setting. The harm identified would significantly outweigh any public benefits arising from the proposals. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy 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.
