Why it was refused

  1. That, the proposed changes to Condition 12 would be tantamount to the creation of a dwelling in an isolated and unsustainable location in the open countryside conflicting with the reason for the imposition of the condition and the contribution the development would make to the tourist economy. The proposal would contrary to the overarching objectives of the housing strategy for the district and the principles of sustainable development contrary to Policies STRAT1 and H1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

From the council's decision notice.
