Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 3rd December 2025
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, the development is not in accordance with the Development Plan Policies as it is not an allocated site in the South Oxfordshire Local Plan or the Kidmore End Neighbourhood Development Plan. This is not infill development and will result in the separation of the settlement. This is contrary to advice set out in Paragraph 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework and policies STRAT1, STRAT2 and H1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and policy LCI of the Kidmore End Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2035.
Having regard to the landscape setting this development would be detrimental to the character of the area. This is contrary to policies ENV1, DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and policies LCSS and LPLV of the Kidmore End Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2035.
Having regard to the distance of the development from the nearest bus stop, this development is not considered to be in a sustainable location. This is contrary to policy TRANS5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
In the absence of a completed Section 106 legal agreement, the proposal fails to secure affordable housing to meet the needs of the district. As such, the development is contrary to policy H9 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
In the absence of a completed Section 106 legal agreement, the proposed development fails to secure infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of the development. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies INF1, TRANS4, TRANS5, EP3 and CF5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
In the absence of a completed Section 106 legal agreement, the proposal fails to secure significant enhancements for the purpose of biodiversity net gain. As such, the proposed development fails to accord with Article 37A of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
