Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to their excessive size and bulk and to their
inappropriate details of design, the proposed extensions would result
in an incongruous form of development which would be poorly related to
the existing building and would detract from its character and
appearance. The development would also be detrimental to the character
and amenity of the area 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 C2 and H12.
That, having regard to its close proximity to the hedge on the boundary
of the site with Rifleman Cottage, the proposed garage could result in
damage to, or loss of, part of the hedge which would be detrimental to
the character and amenity of the area which lies in 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 policy C2.
