Description
Conversion of garage to habitable room, first floor extension, rear dormer, two front dormers, conversion into two separate dwellings.
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The subdivision of the plot at no. 68, to create a separate residential property
would result in a narrow, contrived arrangement, which would go against the grain of development on this part of Elizabeth Road, where there is a relatively uniform pattern of housing. Furthermore, due to the narrowness of the plot and additional parking requirements, the new dwelling would have a cramped appearance within the street scene. As such, the scheme would not respect the existing settlement pattern and it would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the locality, contrary to Policies G2, D1, D3, H4 and H11 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and advice contained within the South Oxfordshire Design Guide.
