Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to its design, siting, bulk and massing, the
proposal would constitute a form of development that would be out of
keeping with the immediate surroundings, resulting in an overwhelming
and over dominant relationship with the neighbouring buildings and the
site as a whole. The Local Planning Authority considers that the
replacement dwelling would not be an acceptable redevelopment of the
site, especially in terms of its height and shape, which does not
reflect the characteristics and scale of the existing dwelling.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be contrary to the
provisions of the Council's South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly
policy G8, and the general advice contained within Planning Policy
Guidance Note 1 "General Policy and Principles".
