Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 14th October 2022
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed development would result in the dwellings being sited in close proximity to Newtown Road and would have a significantly increased bulk and massing compared with the extant planning permission. This would result in an unduly prominent form of development in the locality, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035, Policy DQS1 of the made Joint Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan and advice contained within Section 5 (Built Form - General Principles) of the Joint Design Guide 2022 and advice contained within the NPPF and NPPG.
The proposed development would have a rear building line positioned in close proximity to the adjoining boundary with No.307 Reading Road, with first floor rear-facing windows to habitable rooms directly overlooking the narrow rear section of the gardens of No.307 and 305 at close quarters. This would result in an oppressive and overbearing impact upon the outlook of the neighbouring occupiers' rear gardens, thereby detracting from their residential amenity. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy DES6 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and advice contained within Section 4 (Space and Layout - Plots and Amenity) of the Joint Design Guide 2022 and advice contained within the NPPF and NPPG.
