Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development occupies an open countryside location and does not meet any of the exceptions set out in the West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031 that would justify residential development. The information provided is not sufficient to justify the extension of the existing temporary time period in light of the development being otherwise insupportable in this location. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies OS1, OS2 and H2 of the adopted West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. By reason of its siting and design, the proposal would result in the retention of a visually intrusive and harmful feature within the Cotswolds National Landscape and therefore would fail to conserve or enhance the National Landscape in conflict with Local Plan Policies OS2, EH1 and EH2 of the adopted West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
