Simon Sharp, planning agent, and Adrian Hewitt and John Mordue, local residents, spoke against the application.

 

Stephen Sensecall, representing the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

 

The Committee asked questions of the officers and applicant. In particular they had concerns about the potential relocation of the plant, the response to and from the Oxford Design Panel, and that some of the design details round the windows added unnecessarily to the bulk and mass of the building.

 

The Committee resolved to defer decision on application 15/01104/FUL until a later meeting because of the equivocal nature of the officer’s report, to allow officers to present any further information on design, and to allow the applicant to take into account comments on the detailed design and relocating the plant room from the roof.
