Description
Single storey side and front extension, a single storey rear extension and a first floor front extension over the existing garage. (As amended by information received 13 March 2023) (Amended plans received 23 March to show front gable relocated further to the left to be flush with side elevation).
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
Having regard to the side extension being built up to the boundary for the entire length of the dwelling, with the addition of the front first floor gable and ground floor extensions creating a wrap around, the size, design and bulk of the proposed side and front extensions, together with the proposed change in materials, would result in an incongruous and intrusive addition, which would detract from the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, and would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the street scene. As such, the proposal would be out of keeping with character of area and is considered contrary to policies DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035, advice contained within the Joint South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse Design Guide 2022, Policy SD3 of the Joint Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan 2022 and Government guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 130).
