Decisions 1.

Land to the rear of 79-83 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor , Oxfordshire, OX39 4EA — South Oxfordshire District Council — Appeal Decisions Appeal A is allowed and planning permission is granted for demolition of 1 dwelling house and erection of 9 new dwelling houses at 81 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor, Oxfordshire OX39 4EA in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref P24/S0643/FUL, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. 2. Appeal B is allowed and permission in principle is granted for 9 dwellings at 81 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor, Oxfordshire OX39 4EA in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref P24/S0968/PIP. Preliminary Matters 3. As set out above there are two appeals on this site. They differ insofar as one seeks full planning permission and the other for permission in principle. To avoid duplication, I have dealt with the two schemes together, except where otherwise indicated. 4. Both appeals A and B nominate the site address as 81 Lower Icknield Way however refer to 79-83 and 79-81 Lower Icknield Way (respectively) in the description of development. I have used the description of development provided in the site address field on the application form in the banner headings above. However, I have removed reference to the site address which is not in itself development.

Land to the rear of 79-83 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor , Oxfordshire, OX39 4EA — South Oxfordshire District Council — Appeal Decisions Appeal Decisions APP/Q3115/W/24/3350748 & APP/Q3115/W/24/3350750 Icknield Way as this remains consistent with the Council’s decision notice although I do recognise the site does include a more expansive tract of land to the rear behind numbers 79-83. Finally, I have corrected a typographical error in the description of development in appeal B which referred to 9 dwellings twice. 5. I am satisfied that these various amendments can be made without prejudice to either party as they have arisen due to inconsistencies on the application forms. There is no substantial difference or a fundamental change to either of the applications or appeals. 6. Between the submission of appeals A and B being considered here, the Council has advised that it resolved to grant full planning permission for an identical application to appeal A on 30 October 20241. It has stated that it now regards the principle of residential development on this site as acceptable and does not wish to contest either of these appeals. On the basis of the evidence before me, I see no reason to disagree. 7. I have noted that the resolution to grant planning permission on the scheme considered by the Council was subject to a planning obligation.

Land to the rear of 79-83 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor , Oxfordshire, OX39 4EA — South Oxfordshire District Council — Appeal Decisions No such planning obligation has been sought by the Council on either appeals A or B here. 8. The extent of the considerations for permission in principle is limited to location, land use and the amount of development to be permitted. It follows in my reasoning that as appeal A is to be allowed, the merits of appeal B which have a lesser scope will also be acceptable. 9. The Government published a revised National Planning Policy Framework on 12 December 2024. As the parties agree that planning permission should be granted, I have not taken the opportunity to seek further comments on this. 10. I have noted the comments of the Parish Council and other third parties in relation to both appeals. However, the concerns raised in these comments, which include the principle of the development, housing needs, water supply and school places, will have already been addressed by the Council. Conclusion 11. For the reasons given above, and having regard to all other matters raised, I find that the proposals would comply with policies CH H1, CH H6 and CH H7 of the Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan Review II 2023, policies H1 and H16 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework. 12.

Land to the rear of 79-83 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor , Oxfordshire, OX39 4EA — South Oxfordshire District Council — Appeal Decisions The proposals comply with the provisions of the development plan and the material considerations do not indicate a decision should be made other than in accordance with it. Therefore, both appeals A and B are allowed. Conditions 13. For appeal A, the Council has provided a schedule of conditions and I have imposed these with minor edits and modifications as detailed below. I am satisfied that these conditions are reasonable and necessary and that they meet the tests set out in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). 1 Council ref P24/S2626/FUL https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Condition 1 is a general time limit condition to accord with the provisions of the Act. Condition 2 relates to adherence to the approved plans in the interests of certainty. 15. Conditions 3 and 4 relate to levels and materials in the interests of the character and appearance of the area. Conditions 5, 6, 7 and 23 are imposed to ensure that the development is not, or could be, harmful to the living conditions of neighbours and/or the future occupants. 16. Matters relating to sustainable design and construction are required by conditions 8 and 9. Conditions 11 to 15 (inclusive) are in the interests of highway, pedestrian and cycle safety and convenience. Condition 27 requires electric vehicle charging points. 17. Conditions 16 to 19 relate to landscape to ensure that the development assimilate into its surroundings whilst effects on local fauna and biodiversity are considered in conditions 20, 21 and 22. Biodiversity net gain and offsetting are dealt with in conditions 28 and 29. 18. Matters relating to drainage and flooding are addressed in condition numbers 24 and 25. 19.

Land to the rear of 79-83 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor , Oxfordshire, OX39 4EA — South Oxfordshire District Council — Appeal Decisions I have amended conditions 3 and 29 at the request of the appellant to allow for demolition to occur prior to submission of additional detail to the Council. This will allow elements of the development to proceed more swiftly in the interests of delivering new homes on this relatively small site. I have further edited the numbering of those conditions with sub-clauses for ease of reference. 20. A number of conditions are pre-commencement conditions having regard to S100ZA of the Act. The appellant has indicated that they are satisfied with these conditions in their final comments. 21. Appeal B is for permission in principle. As set out within the PPG, it is not possible for conditions to be attached to a grant of permission in principle and therefore none are imposed here.
