Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of an acceptable s106 planning obligation, securing significant onsite enhancements for the purpose of biodiversity net gain, the proposed development fails to accord with Article 37A of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), Policy ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035, Policy NH2 of the emerging Joint Local Plan 2041, and paragraphs 187 and 193 of the NPPF. NB: The development to which this refusal relates is liable to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) as set out in the South Oxfordshire Charging Schedule. Please refer to the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
