Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 20th December 2024
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
Having regard to the minimum bedroom size requirement of 7.5 square metres set out in the Nationally Described Space Standards, the formation of gyms and entertainment rooms in the roof space of Plots 1 and 2 would provide a level of accommodation easily capable of being used as additional bedrooms by future occupiers. As a result, the development would fail to provide any two-bedroom or three-bedroom dwellings and as such the proposed market housing mix would not address the dwelling types of greatest identified need in the Oxfordshire Strategic Housing Market Assessment 2014 (SHMA), in conflict with the aims and objectives of Policy H11 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and advice contained within paragraph 140 of the NPPF.

No energy statement and SAP calculations have been submitted with the application, consequently there is insufficient information to demonstrate compliance with Policy DES10 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and Policies RD1 and RENV5 of the made Sonning Common Neighbourhood Development Plan Review 2023.
Appeal
No appeal lodged.
