Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 16th January 2023
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed development would, as a result of the scale, appearance and siting of the dwellings, further erode the undeveloped, rural character and appearance of the hillside to the south of Rotherfield Road. There would be an adverse impact upon the local landscape character and the setting of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, contrary to policies ENV1, DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035, policy SD3 of the Joint Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan, and paragraph 176 of the NPPF. The limited, short-term benefits of granting permission would not outweigh the harm identified by the Council.
The submitted biodiversity assessment is not considered sufficiently robust to demonstrate that the development would avoid a net loss to biodiversity. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
The application submission has failed to adequately assess the impact upon Great Crested Newts, an important European protected species. As such, the proposal fails to meet the requirements of Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and Paragraphs 174 and 180 of the National Planning Policy Framework
