Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Headington Quarry Conservation Area and the setting of Listed Buildings
  • The sustainability of the site with specific reference to accessibility to Public Transport services and local supermarkets
  • Highway safety, with specific reference to vehicle manoeuvrability

What decided it

The Inspector's acceptance of the appellant's evidence on distances to public transport and supermarkets, combined with the finding that the heritage assets would not be harmed and highway safety would be maintained, allowed the appeal to succeed.

Framework references: 16

Plan policies cited: Policy DH1, Policy DH3, Policy M3, Policy RE7
