Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the proposal would be contrary to policy H1 of the Oxfordshire Structure Plan and policies G1, H4 and H5 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan which seek to protect the District from adverse development and to restrict development within the smaller villages to strict infill development, which is the filling of an appropriate small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage by the erection of one or two dwellings. The proposal would not constitute acceptable infilling in that it would result in the loss of an important open space within the older part of the village of Tiddington and detract from the rural character of the area.
That having regard to the location of listed buildings immediately to the south of the site, the proposed development would detract from the setting of those listed buildings, contrary to policy CON7 in the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.
That having regard to the excessive bulk, size and massing of the proposed dwelling, to its siting in relation to the adjoining properties, and to the slightly elevated nature of the site, the proposed dwelling would constitute an overbearing and intrusive form of development, detrimental to the residential amenity and privacy of existing adjacent dwellings. The proposals would thereby be contrary to policy G8 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.
That the siting of the garage on the frontage of the site would result in a prominent and incongruous form of development, contrary to policy G8 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.
That under application reference P85/N0121/O, planning permission was refused and dismissed on appeal for the erection of 1 bungalow and garage on the site. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the same considerations apply to the current proposals.
That the plans submitted with the application are inadequate. They do not accurately show the extent of the site or accurately show the extent of the proposed development on the site.
