Why it was refused
- In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed development would be excessive in scale, bulk and massing relative to the original dwellinghouse. The development would compete with, and detract from, the existing scale and appearance of the main dwelling and would not respond positively to the size and shape of the application site - detracting from the character and visual amenity of the immediate streetscene. Further, the scale and design of the proposed development relative to the main dwellinghouse would be inappropriate for its indicated purpose as a self-contained residential annex. The scheme is considered contrary to Policy CP37 of the Local Plan 2031, Part 1, Policy DP04 of the Local Plan 2031, Part 2, principles held within the Joint Design Guide 2022 SPD and the provisions of the Faringdon Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2031 and the National Planning Policy Framework. NB: The development is hereby refused in accordance with the following plans: - Location Plan Proposed drwgno LOC 001 P25/V1328/HH - Block Plan Proposed drwgno BLO 002 - Elevations Proposed drwgno 11 - Elevations Proposed drwgno 12 - Front Elevation Proposed drwgno 13 - Ground Floor Plan Proposed drwgno 08 - First Floor Plan Proposed drwgno 09 - Roof Plan Proposed drwgno 10 NB: For Your Information - Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) The development to which this refusal relates is liable to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) as set out in the Vale of White Horse Charging Schedule. Please refer to the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended).
