Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to the excessive size and bulk of the extensions and
to their inappropriate details of design, the proposal to create a two
storey dwelling from a modest bungalow would fail to respect the character
and appearance of the existing bungalow and would be detrimental to the
character and amenity of this part of Whitchurch Hill which lies within
the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Therefore, the
development would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted
South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies G8, C2 and H12.
That, having regard to its excessive size and bulk and to the introduction
of large windows at first floor level, the proposal would result in an
unneighbourly form of development which would overlook and be oppressive to
neighbouring dwellings and thereby detract from the privacy and residential
amenities currently enjoyed by their occupants. Therefore, the development
would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South
Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policy H12.
