Declarations of Interest To receive any declarations from Members of the Committee on any items to be considered at the meeting Minutes: Declarations of Interest were received as follows:
Councillor Jackson said he was a friend of a resident of Chapel Lane but had not discussed the application with them and would not take part in the discussion.
The Chair asked the Principal Planner for Enforcement and Appeals to inform the meeting of the implications of the Appeal decision for the Land at Barns Lane, Burford. The Planning Inspector had dismissed the appeal but had found that the Council could not demonstrate a 5 year deliverable housing land supply. While the Council had not yet adopted a formal position, the appeal decision is significant because in the absence of a 5-year supply, the ‘tilted balance’ as set out in para I I (d) of the NPPF applies. This requires that planning permission be granted unless any adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits. The Principal Planner said that this should have a bearing on the consideration of 22/00838/OUT. |

Change of use of land to create additional domestic curtilage along with the construction of an outdoor swimming pool to serve Church Enstone Hall. There was a statement from Richard Nares who spoke in support of the application. A copy of this submission is attached to the original copy of the minutes. The Planning Officer gave further details of the application. In the view of officers, the application was considered to accord with WOLP 2031 Policies OS1, OS2, OS4, H2, H6, T1, T3, T4, EH2, EH3, EH9 and EH11, the West Oxfordshire Design Guide 2016 and NPPF 2021. The application was therefore recommended to Members for conditional approval. In answer to questions, the Planning Officer explained that the main house was a replacement dwelling but that no Condition had been applied at the time of its approval to prevent the demolition and replacement of the bungalow. Councillors had some concerns about the siting of the swimming pool and whether it would cause disturbance to neighbours. The Planning Officer said it was considered far enough away from the neighbours not to be a nuisance and that visual barriers were not necessary. He explained that details of the repairs to the listed tithe barn were set out in a schedule attached to the application and would be subject to a separate schedule monument consent (SMC). Details such as the preservation of the date plaque on the newly exposed wall of the barn would be covered by the SMC. The application was put to the vote for approval and was carried.

The Chair thanked the Officers for their work on processing the applications.
Appeal 21/00506/FUL. Partial costs had been awarded against the Council as the Inspector has found the Officer’s report was not sufficiently clear in respect of assertions about impact.
