Why it was refused
- Due to the positioning of the car port to the front of the dwelling, and its visibility above the existing hedge, within an area designated as Chilterns National Landscape, the proposal would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the dwelling, and the visual amenity of the wider area. It would result in harm to the landscape character of the area and wider National Landscape contrary to policies DES2 and ENV1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and Policy 11 of the Goring Neighbourhood Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
