Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to the excessive size and height of the proposed
buildings and to their location on the boundary of the site with
residential properties in Kit Lane, the proposal would result in an
unneighbourly form of development which would be overbearing and
oppressive and would cause noise and disturbance to 1 Kit Lane,
detrimental to the residential amenities currently enjoyed by
residents of that property. Therefore, the development would be
contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire
Local Plan, particularly policies E3 and E6.
That the vehicular access to the site is substandard in visibility and
the local road network is narrow, generally lacks verges and has poor
forward visibility. The proposal would result in an unacceptable
intensification in the use of the access and the local road network,
particularly by commercial vehicles, and this would be detrimental to
the safety and convenience of users of the public highway. Therefore,
the development would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's
adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies G10 and E6.
