Why it was refused

  1. The formation of the proposed access would not be in keeping with the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would harm the setting of the Listed Building. The proposal does not accord with Policies DES1, DES2, ENV6, ENV7 and ENV8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

From the council's decision notice.
