RELEVANT PLANNING Policies

Oxfordshire Structure Plan

EN1

The nature, size, location or cumulative effects of a development should not have an unacceptable environmental impact.

EN4

The natural beauty of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty will be conserved to reflect their national importance. Proposed developments should not conflict with this aim.

T18

Proposals for development should be permitted only if they are acceptable in the light of the following criteria:

  • the existing transport situation, the aims of the local transport strategy and existing local car parking and traffic management measures;
  • access for pedestrians, cyclists and those whose mobility is impaired;
  • the requirements of public transport;
  • the impact of generated traffic including servicing traffic on existing settlements and roads;
  • highway access and servicing arrangements;
  • the safety of all highway users;
  • the likely resource implications for the highway authority.

WD5

Waste disposal by landfill will only be allowed into sites where mineral extraction has taken place. Planning permission for landraising and other forms of landfill will not be granted unless it can be demonstrated that it is necessary to improve the agricultural quality of the land.

Oxfordshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan

PE18

In determining applications covered by this Plan the County Council will:

Have regard to the appropriate provisions of the Code of Practice in Annex 1.

Annex 1 of the Code outlines:

Time Limits:

Time limits – Where it is probable that significant extensions of the timescale of the restoration are likely, the operator will be expected to seek a revision of the phasing and timescale of restoration, to ensure that the continued working can be accomplished without causing harm greater than envisaged in the original permission. Planning permission will normally be granted to extend the period if extraction is not completed within the agreed timescale provided this criteria is met.

 

W7

To control the release and location of landfill sites in such a way as to ensure that satisfactory restoration is progressively achieved with the least possible harm to the environment. Proposals will therefore be assessed against the following criteria:

(b) there should be no material damage or disturbance to the environment or to the amenities of residential and other sensitive uses or buildings, both during and after operation, by reason of noise, dust vermin, smell, gas and other pollution, or long-term damage to the visual amenities;

(f) the proposal will not adversely affect an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or of High Landscape Value;

(h) the proposed access to the site, and transport routes for carrying waste to it, are suitable for the volume and nature of traffic which may be expected.
