Oxenhope is a village with restricted services/facilities including public transport.

Inconsistent with RUDP locational principals;

Residents will be reliant on cars rather than sustainable transport. Site’s sustainability characteristics mean it would fail to contribute to it.

Provides open break in built-up area and continuation of extensive open spaces.

Village is linear rather than nuclear. Rounding off not always appropriate.

Open spaces are important. Development may be harmful and should be refused where it would result in their loss.

Has good tree cover. Adjoining area is identified in Village Design Statement as village green space. Should be retained and Design Statement accorded some weight.

Would be overbearing on adjacent properties, leading to over-shadowing and loss of amenity

Loss of open space & visual amenity

Impact on village character, trees, wildlife & flooding

Development may not be in keeping.

Site entrances a concern - only one to each. Would cause congestion, access & safety issues;

Infrastructure (drains, electricity, gas) needs to be reviewed.

Will increase traffic, congestion, noise & road safety issues.
