Decision
Refusal of Listed Building Consent on 19th August 1998
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed two-storey rear extension by reason of its bulk, size,
unsympathetic design and inappropriate materials is considered to represent
an inappropriate and incongruous form of extension detracting from
the character, appearance and detailing of the existing dwelling. The
undue prominence of the rear wing would adversely affect the scale, form
and character of this attractive, modest sized Grade II Listed Building
so being contrary to CON6 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan. The
proposal would detrimentally affect the visual amenities of the locality
and the character of the Conservation Area, thereby being contrary to
CON10, G1 and H12 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan. In a
recent decision dismissing the appeal the Inspector considered that a
similar proposal would be detrimental to the architectural and historic
character of the listed building and conflict with development plan
policies.
