Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That, having regard to the details of the scale, siting and layout of the proposed development, the proposal would constitute a cramped form of development that would be out of keeping with the established built form and pattern of development in the surrounding area. As such the proposal would detract from the established character of the area contrary to Policies H3, D1 and D1b of the Sonning Common Neighbourhood Development Plan, Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and Policies G2, D1, and H4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, and advice in the South Oxfordshire Design Guide and the NPPF.
That having regard to its size, scale and siting in close proximity to the boundary with the adjoining property Silverlea, the proposed building would have an overbearing and oppressive effect upon that adjoining property. As such the proposal would be detrimental to the residential amenity of the occupiers of Silverlea contrary to Policy H3 of the Sonning Common Neighbourhood Development Plan, Policies D4, and H4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan, and advice in the South Oxfordshire Design Guide and the NPPF.
