Planning committee
Decided by South Oxfordshire Planning Committee on 28 Jan 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- The application was called in because it conflicted with the local plan's policy protecting residential accommodation in the town centre.
- Officers said the flat lacked outdoor space and converting it to office use would let a long-standing local business expand.
- The committee voted to approve the application to keep a business that had been on site for ten years.
