Three self-contained flats at Morland House, Station Road, Chinnor

“6 Change of use from commercial, business and service (UE class E) to dwellinghouses (use class C3) for the creation of three self-contained flats within Morland House.”

“The application was for full planning permission and listed building consent for the conversion of the office buildings into three flats. The listed building consent was sought for the associated works to part of the adjoining listed building.”

“In contrast to the permitted development scheme, the proposed scheme would include communal amenity space in excess of the 40 square meters recommended by the design guide.”

“The site would be partially landscaped to accommodate the amenity area, bike storage and parking.”

“The application was identical to a previous 2022 permission which had expired earlier this year. The application had been brought to committee due to the objection of Chinnor Parish Council.”

“Since the previous application it had been determined that planning permission was not required for the conversion of the main building into two residential flats and this had been confirmed by the prior approval process earlier in the year.”

“The application was recommended for approval.”

“The Highway Authority were satisfied with the level of parking and raised no objection.”

“The conservation officer had considered the proposal and felt that the scheme would better respect the significance of the listed building which was originally for residential use and outwardly had the appearance of a dwelling.”

“A motion, moved and seconded to grant planning permission P25/S1415/FUL and listed building consent P25/S1416/LB, was carried on being put to the vote.”

“RESOLVED: to grant planning permission P25/S1415/FUL and listed building consent P25/S1416/LB, subject to the following conditions: Planning Permission:”
