Nine councillors voted to reject it and three abstained. One councillor was opposed to the rejection.The application was deferred from August's committee meeting to seek more information about the concerns over the possible water contamination.The developer and the council's officers said they had worked to mitigate those ahead of the application being discussed by the committee.The authority's officers had recommended that the project was given planning permission.You can follow BBC Oxfordshire on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.
