Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its scale, siting and design, in particular its height and width, the proposed development would result in a visually incongruous and obtrusive form of development that would adversely affect the character and appearance of the area. In addition, by reason of its scale, siting and design, the proposed development would cause a significant adverse impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of no. 12 Deene Close through a loss of light and outlook and an imposing and overbearing form of development. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031, saved Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996, the Cherwell Home Extensions & Alterations Design Guide 2007 and the National Planning Policy Framework. In accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Cherwell Council has given consideration to whether amendments or additional information would overcome its concerns with the application, but unfortunately it has concluded that it would not be possible to resolve those concerns within the scope and timescales of this application. Cherwell Council has resolved that the application proposals do not amount to sustainable development and consent must accordingly be refused. The case officer’s report and recommendation in respect of this application provides a detailed assessment of the merits of the application when considered against current planning policy and guidance, including consideration of the issues raised by the comments received from consultees and members of the public.

From the council's decision notice.
