Planning committee
Decided by West Oxfordshire Development Management Sub-Committee on 8 Jun 2026.
Approved
Against officer advice: officers had recommended refusal.
- Officers advised refusal because the alterations harmed the listed building and public benefits did not outweigh that harm.
- The parish council and 126 supporters backed the works because they would help reopen and sustain the community pub.
- Members voted 5 to 1, with 4 abstentions, to approve against officers’ advice.
