Planning Application Details

That, having regard to the two-storey element and other inappropriate details of design, the proposed dwelling would represent an incongruous and inappropriate form of development which would be detrimental to the character and appearance of this part of Shiplake which lies within an Area of Great Landscape Value. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies C3, G8 and H5. That, having regard to the location of the first floor bedroom window in the northern (rear) elevation, the proposed dwelling would overlook the private rear garden area of Fairfield to the detriment of the residential amenities and privacy enjoyed by the occupants of that property. As such, the development would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policy H5. That, having regard to its siting on higher ground in close proximity to the boundaries with the adjoining properties, the proposed dwelling would have an oppressive and overbearing effect on those properties, particularly Broomfield, and would be detrimental to the residential amenity of their occupants. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policy H5.
