Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed outbuilding is of a scale, design and positioning that does not respond positively to the context of the residential plot, and would detract from the character of the immediate area of Liddiard’s Row, contrary to Core Policy 37 of the Local Plan 2031, Part 1, the provisions of the Faringdon Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2031 and design principles held within the Joint Design Guide 2022.
  2. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed outbuilding is of a scale, design and positioning that would result in harm to existing levels of adjacent private neighbouring amenity and outlook experienced, through visual intrusion, physical dominance and direct overlooking, contrary to Development Policy DP23 of the Local Plan 2031, Part 2.

From the council's decision notice.
