Decision
Refusal of Planning Permission on 11th September 1998
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to the limited size of the site and the juxtaposition
of the proposed flat with the adjoining pharmacy and 5-bedroomed flat, the
site is inadequate to accommodate satisfactorily private amenity areas for
both the existing and proposed residential units.  This would result in an
unneighbourly form of development because of the reduction in the level of
amenity space available for the existing flat and the associated loss of
privacy.  Therefore, the development would be contrary to the provisions
of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly
policies G1, H11 and H13.
That the development, in order to comply with the Council's vehicle parking
standards, would require the hardsurfacing of a significant part of the
existing garden area, thereby detracting from the setting of the building,
which is a grade II listed building, and the character of the area, which
forms part of the Watlington Conservation Area.  Therefore, the development
would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South
Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies CON7, CON8, CON15 and H13.
