Description
Amendment to planning permission P17/S0931/FUL. Demolition of existing garage walls and existing kitchen extension at 95A. Construction of one additional five-bedroom detached dwelling with on-site parking on land to the west of existing house. Construction of new roadway and parking area in front of existing house on existing garden.
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The proposed development, due to its siting, scale, height and massing, would have an overbearing and oppressive impact on both Nos. 95A and 97 St Mark's Road to the detriment of the amenity of the occupants of these properties. As such, the proposed dwelling is contrary to the provisions of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011, in particular Policies G2, D1, D4 and H4, and guidance within the South Oxfordshire Design Guide and the National Planning Policy Framework.
The proposed development, due to its siting, scale, height, and massing, would result in a cramped relationship with the adjacent built form and would result in an overdevelopment of the site that would fail to respect the character and appearance of the surrounding area. As such the proposal would fail to accord with Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, Policies G2, D1, and H4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan, Policies DQS1 and H4 of the Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan and guidance contained within the South Oxfordshire Design Guide and National Planning Policy Framework.
