David Ditchett, Principal Planner, presented the application for external alterations to erect a double sided hanging sign with linolites, along with the addition of an internally illuminated menu case and small cut panel with printed detail.

Applications Determined under Delegated Powers and Appeal Decisions Purpose: To inform the Sub-Committee of applications determined under delegated powers and any appeal decisions. Recommendation: That the reports be noted.
Additional documents: Minutes: The report giving details of applications determined under delegated powers was received and noted.
21/01861/FUL Merton Cottage, Bampton Road, Aston. David Ditchett, Principal Planner explained the refusal decision was upheld due to close proximity of a TPO Sycamore Tree. By adding pressures to the tree by pruning would harm the roots or potentially result in the removal of the tree. The Inspector agreed with the Committee’s reasons for refusing the application. 21/02718/HHD and 21/02719/LBC 35-37 Woodgreen, Witney. David Ditchett, Principal Planner explained the refusal for a single storey rear extension by reason of its scale and massing, the proposed development would result in the primacy of the original property being eroded or lost altogether. The Inspector dismissed the appeal as the proposal would have a harmful effect on the specific historic and architectural interest of the Grade 2 listed building and that harm was not outweighed by any public benefits.
