Decision
Refusal of Listed Building Consent on 26th April 2019
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed plaques would result in harm to the historic and architectural interests of the individual listed buildings, by identifying the importance of the building as belonging to a fictional person or place. There would be a cumulative impact to the group of listed buildings and their contribution to the historic and architectural interests of the Thame Conservation Area. The application would result in less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets which is not outweighed by public benefit as judged by the National Planning Policy Framework. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy CSEN3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, saved Policies CON3, CON5 and CON7 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
