Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That having regard to the scale, bulk and height, the proposal would represent an undesirable overdevelopment of the site that would appear cramped, out of character with surrounding development and unacceptably overbearing in the outlook from numbers 24 and 26 Reading Road. In addition, having regard to the limited amount of light entering the new flats, it is considered that the proposal would provide an unacceptably poor residential environment. In this way the proposal would be contrary to policy G2 of the Oxfordshire Structure Plan, policies G2, G6, D1, D4 and H4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and advice contained in the South Oxfordshire Design Guide.
