Planning Application Details

That the proposal by virtue of its size, design, shape, scale and location adjacent to the boundary would have a dominant and overbearing effect upon the neighbouring property and would detract from the character of the existing dwelling. It is therefore considered to be contrary to the provisions of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policy H12. That, having regard to the siting of the extension adjoining the neighbouring property, the configuration of the boundary and the position of the first floor windows serving bedroom 2, the proposed extension would be unneighbourly by reason of overlooking and loss of privacy. The development would therefore be contrary to the provisions of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policy H12. That insufficient space is available within the curtilage of the site for 3 vehicles to be parked in accordance with the Council's adopted Vehicle Parking Standards resulting in on-street parking to the detriment of pedestrian and vehicular safety and to the detriment of the amenity of the locality. The development would therefore be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan particularly policy G11.
