OCC ref: MW.0098/18.
Planning application by H Tuckwell & Sons Thrupp Lane Quarry, Thrupp Lane, Radley, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 3NG for planning permission: Planning Application under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to continue the development permitted by permission no P16/V3191/CM (MW.0139/16) (for the progressive extraction of sand and gravel, importation of inert waste material with restoration to nature conservation and an agricultural reservoir) varying conditions 1, 20 & 23 and removing condition 21 to allow the development to be accessed via a temporary haul road in place of the existing required vehicle access route at Land Adjoining Stone Hills Lane, Oday Hill, Sutton Wick, Abingdon, OX14 4AA.
PC: Noted.
P18/V2195/HH.
Garden office directly behind the existing garage. 28 High Street Drayton Abingdon OX14 4JL.
PC: Response: No objection.
P18/V2238/HH.
To fit a new matching UPVC window to the front under the garage canopy roof. Removed up and over garage door. Fit a new matching UPVC multi point locking access door to side of garage. 12 Steventon Road Drayton Abingdon Oxfordshire OX14 4LE.
PC: Response: No objection.
P18/V2197/FUL.
Variation of condition 2 (approved plans) of planning permission P16/V2579/FUL. Change of use from existing detached garage and workshop with ancillary accommodation above, to a self contained two bedroom dwelling. The Barn 41 Sutton Wick Lane Drayton Abingdon OX14 4HH.
PC: Objection:
Drayton Parish Council can not see any improvement on the approved planning application P16/V2579/FUL. We do not find the black painted feather-edge weatherboarding uninspiring and we do not find the existing steel and timber external staircase unsightly. Also, the Parish Council does not think that the mid-grey painted profiled boarding will be in keeping with the area.
P18/V2125/HH.
Proposed single storey extension to rear and two story extension to side and new pitched roof porch. Hilliat Fields Drayton Abingdon Oxfordshire OX14 4JE.
PC: Response:
Drayton Parish Council feel this could be over development of the site.
P18/V1775/LB.
Replacement rear dormer window to match first floor window. Removal of small rear kitchen window, enlargement of opening and insertion of french window. The Old Farm House, 44 High Street Drayton Abingdon Oxfordshire OX14 4JW.
PC: Response:
Drayton Parish Council would like clarification that this complies with listed building regulations.
P18/V2365/FUL.
Installation of a synchronous gas powered standby generation facility, plus ancillary infrastructure and equipment. Land at Steventon Road Drayton Abingdon OX13 6RN.
ACTION: Deputy Clerk to find out what this is for and why we need it.
[Clerks’ note, the following was agreed and submitted after the meeting: Objection: This extends the built up area of the village outside the developed envelope and therefore should be not allowed. The unit is a commercial generator and has no place within a village and is a potential source of noise and risk that is
not appropriate in proximity to houses. It appears to bring no benefits to the village and contrary to the neighbourhood plan is not in any way in keeping with any of the other developments in the village. It is more appropriate for a unit such as this to be placed in proximity to other industrial developments, and as there is a national grid there is no justification for placing it in a village. The unit is gas powered, this means either the unnecessary risk of storage of pressurised gas containers in close proximity to a major road and residential property… or major works to connect it to a main gas supply. Is there a secret highpressure gas main under the A34 there? In the absence of any consultation or explanation in the application documents, we have no idea as to the purpose or long term plans for this facility and so have
no context to the application.]

PC: Response: No Objection TBC.
