Why it was refused
- Due to position of the proposed dwelling being located within close promixity to the boundary of Honeybear, the proposed development is considered to result in an unacceptable relationship to the neighbouring dwelling due to its overbearing impact, and resulting in an unduly oppressive and dominant outlook from the neighbouring property's bedroom window. This is contrary to Policy DES6 of the South Oxfordhsire Local Plan 2035.
From the council's decision notice.
