Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, particularly having regard to its size and siting in close
proximity to the boundary of the adjoining property, the Old Gate House,
the proposed extension and use of the outbuilding as a granny annexe
would represent an unneighbourly and intrusive form of development
which would be detrimental to the privacy and residential amenity of
the occupants of that property. As such, the proposal would be
contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire
Local Plan, particularly policy H12.
That, having regard to its size, design and detailing, including roofing
materials, the proposed extension and alterations to the outbuilding

detrimental to the character and appearance of Normanstead House and
the surrounding area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the
provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan,
particularly policies G8 and H12.
