Planning Application Details

That particularly having regard to the size and scale of the existing dwelling and to the size and bulk of the proposed two storey extensions, the proposal would constitute an incongruous and inappropriate form of development which would dominate the existing dwelling and detract from the character and appearance of the area which lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and, as such, would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted Rural Areas Local Plan, particularly policies G5 and C7, and approved South Oxfordshire Local Plan (as proposed to be modified), particularly policies G8, C2 and H12. That having regard to their size and bulk and to their siting in close proximity to the boundary with 12 Church Field, the proposed extensions would result in an unneighbourly form of development which would be oppressive and overbearing and would detract from the residential amenities currently enjoyed by the occupiers of the dwelling at 12 Church Field. Therefore, the development would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted Rural Areas Local Plan, particularly policy G5, and approved South Oxfordshire Local Plan (as proposed to be modified), particularly policies G8 and H12.
