Planning committee
Decided by South Oxfordshire Planning Committee on 20 May 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- Officers recommended approval, saying the scheme's benefits outweighed any harm given the council's shortfall in a five-year housing land supply.
- The parish council objected, and some members felt the scheme added too much pressure on infrastructure, highway safety and waste collection.
- A motion to refuse the application was not carried, and the committee then voted to approve it in line with officers' recommendation.
