Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That having regard to the size, scale and massing of the part two storey part single storey front extension the proposal would be materially harmful to the amenities of the neighbouring property: number 35 Lodden Avenue in terms of it being an overbearing and oppressive expanse of built form located immediately along the shared boundary. The proposal is contrary to criterion (iii) of Policy H13 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
That, having regard to the position, size, scale and massing of the proposed front extension the development would be out of keeping with the appearance of the dwelling as well as the terrace as a whole where, with the exception of modest single storey extensions the frontages have not been extended at first floor level and above. Therefore, the proposal would be to the material detriment of the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, the terrace as a whole and the wider area. The development would be contrary to policies CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and policies D1, G2 and criterion (ii) of H13 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
