Conditions / Refusal Reasons
Having regard to the relationship of the application site with the surrounding built form, the proposed development, due to the siting, scale, bulk and massing of the dwellings along with the parking and turning layout and small private garden areas would result in a cramped form of overdevelopment that would fail to respect the more spacious character and appearance of the site and the surrounding built form. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policies CSR1 and CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and Policies G2, D1 and H4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
Having regard to the relationship of the application site with the adjacent dwellings, the proposed development, due to the siting, scale, bulk and massing of the dwellings along with the parking and turning layout would have an overbearing impact and cause loss of outlook and unacceptable levels of noise and disturbance to the occupiers of adjacent residential occupiers. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policies G2, D4 and H4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
