Why it was refused

  1. The proposed relocation of the boundary wall fronting Augustine Way would adversely affect the visibility splay serving the neighbouring property's vehicular access, thereby increasing the risk to highway safety for both motorists and other highway users in the vicinity. Furthermore, the site is currently undergoing the adoption process, and the relocated boundary wall would encroach into a service strip. As service strips accommodate a range of statutory utilities that may require access at any time, they must remain free from obstruction. Consequently, the proposal is considered to conflict with Policy TRANS5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
  2. The proposed realigned wall would result in an intrusive and incongruous form of development that fails to respect the established layout, character and appearance of the surrounding area. The alteration would detract from the spacious and landscaped qualities that contribute positively to the character of the locality. As such, the development would be contrary to Policies DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and Policy CPQ1 of the Thame Neighbourhood Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
