Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 7th September 2016
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
1. That the scheme represents an overdevelopment of the site;
· the layout is cramped and does not allow for adequate landscaping to provide well designed external areas at the entrance to or within the site and would detract from the character of the area contrary to Policy CSQ3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and Saved policies G2, D1 and H4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan;
· the layout does not allow for the provision of open space to mitigate the loss of biodiversity contrary to Policy CSB1 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and Saved policy C6 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan; and
· the layout does not provide for adequate standards of residential amenity for the occupants of the dwellings/flats on plots 16, 17, 11 and 14 because the private amenity areas are below the Council's minimum standard contrary to saved policy D3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan and advice in the South Oxfordshire Design Guide.
The harm identified to the character of the area, biodiversity and the amenity of occupants of the units would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing a net gain of 15 houses to the district's housing land supply and paragraph 14 of the NPPF should not override the development plan policies in this instance.
2. That, having regard to the location and size of the flats above garages on plots 16 and 17 in relation to 14, 16, 18 and 20 Blacklands Road, the proposal represents an unneighbourly form of development which would be oppressive and overbearing detracting from the residential amenity of the occupants of those properties. As such the proposal is contrary to saved Policies D4 and H4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan. The harm identified to neighbour amenity would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing a net gain of 15 houses to the district's housing land supply and paragraph 14 of the NPPF should not override the development plan policies in this instance.
