Why it was refused

  1. The development in the form of residential accommodation, including the caravan, represents housing in the open countryside in conflict with the spatial strategy and housing policies of the development plan. A case has not been sufficiently made for a rural worker's dwelling and associated student accommodation in this rural location, and alterative accommodation is readily available to meet the needs of the business. No other development plan policies provide weight for such development or outweigh the harm associated with new residential development in open countryside. The development conflicts with paragraphs 84, 88 and 89 of the NPPF, policy CP4 of the LPP1 and policy DP6 of the LPP2. NB: The development is hereby refused based on the submitted plans: - Location Plan drwgno SC318_P10 - Block Plan drwgno SC318_P9B - Elevations Existing drwgno SC318_P5 P25/V1976/FUL - Floor Plan Ground Existing drwgno SC318_P3 - Floor Plan First Existing drwgno SC318_P4 - Elevations Proposed drwgno SC318_P8A - Floor Plan Ground Proposed drwgno SC318_P6A - Floor Plan First Proposed drwgno SC318_P7A - Elevations Mobile Home Proposed drwgno SC318_P2A - Floor Plan Mobile Home Proposed drwgno SC318_P1A NB: The development to which this refusal relates is liable to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) as set out in the Vale of White Horse Charging Schedule. Please refer to the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended).
