Planning Application Details

That having regard to the excessive size and bulk of the extension, to its poor relationship with the original dwelling and the inappropriate details of design, the proposal would result in an incongruous and intrusive form of development which would detract from the character and appearance of the original dwelling and the locality, which lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As such the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policies C2 and H12. That having regard to the lcoation of the first floor bedroom windows in the south-western (side) elevation of the extension adjacent to the boundary with 2 Bix Common, the proposal would result in an unneighbourly form of development which would result in a loss of privacy to the private rear garden area of that property. As such the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, particularly policy H12.
