Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to the size and bulk of the proposed extension in
close proximity to the boundary with the two adjoining properties,
14 and 18 York Road, the proposed first floor extension would represent
an oppressive and overbearing form of development which would lead to a
loss of light and would result in a loss of residential amenity to the
occupants of these properties. As such, the proposal would be contrary
to the provisions of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan,
particularly policy H12.
That, having regard to its excessive size and bulk and to the
inappropriate details of design, the proposed extension would
represent an incongruous addition to this modest terraced property
which would be detrimental to its character and appearance and out of
keeping with the locality. As such, the proposal would be contrary to
the provisions of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly
policy H12.
